That is called 'monorchidism' in dogs...don't know about ferrets. Does the male have both testes, but only one descends? If so, that is called 'unilateral...

... My opinion is that breeding for any type of extreme should be avoided. Whether it be extreme in size (very big, very small), very long/short snout, very...
In one of my litters there were three hobs and all three had a tendency to drop the second testicle much later than the first. For two of the hobs, one housed...

I'm fairly familiar with it through the experiences of other dog breeders. It can be caused by a number of factors, but most seem to relate to hormonal causes...
I can tell you about humans. Lol. The undescended testical must, must be surgically brought down and tacked, or removed because it can later matasti.........

I'm sure a breeder or scientist would laugh at me for thinking so, but Carol I have always thought that there are differences in temperment in relation to...
Thank you Sukie and Wolfy for your enlightening replies. This is something that I have only recently thought about regarding the 'mitts' and this suddenly...
I'd be more inclined to put the differences down to their background and what their breeders selected for. If intelligence, athletic ability, and/or agility...

Albino IS recessive, and so cannot carry any other colour. All albino X albino pairings must give 100% albino. I would suggest that the family tree is...
There are multiple types of albinism in medical discussions, and not all are recessive. It is possible to have different genetic causes with the same...
Oh, and just to complicate things: I do NOT know if it happens in ferret coloration but it is possible to have genes which suppress the expression of other...
