Conformation is all about perfection, showing animals that come closest to the breed standard. These animals are those best for breeding and passing on their superior genes to subsequent generations to improve the breed. Showing a dog with an undescended testicle is no different than showing one with an overbite, underbite, over at the knees, weak pasterns, a floppy ear, etc. Absolutely unacceptable in conformation and not to be bred.

I'm doing a pretend project for school, It's essentially Gooddog.com but I would hire employees to actually vet the breeders and look into their health testing and how they prove their dogs. I made a survey and I would really appreciate it if you guy could fill it out! I would need your real names so if that makes you uncomfy feel free to decline. (I would never know it was you though) Thanks! I need your help!

Sorry, did not mean to be snarky. I had a Golden I thought was the greatest. Entered him in a little local show. He turned out to be the only entrant in Sporting breeds so he got a blue ribbon. Afterward I went to the judge and requested an honest eevaluation. She was kind but honest. I had him neutered. He had soft pasterns and cow hocks along with other faults. Broke my heart but I still loved him. He was the best dog I ever had but he wasn't show or breeding quality. Every dog can't be show or breeding stock, that doesn't make him less of a companion. Love him for who/ what he is. If you have your heart set on a show dog, be prepared to spend several thousands of dollars on a show animal from a reputable breeder. Good luck to you. ❤

I suppose you could enter him, but he'll be disqualified.
