I've seen a female JRT with retained testicles. Also seen a male tortoiseshell cat. Aren't they hermaphrodites?

We've seen 2 both female dogs with remnants of testicles.. yeah it's interesting, but like others have said, not a huge deal either..

Has anyone seen a male dog with remnants of a uterus? Interested to know as 'what would make you look for a uterus', if its blatantly a male dog with 2 well formed testicles?

I have seen 3 in the past 4 years alone, 2 Staffies oddly! One called, by the owners, 'Millie with a willy' much to our joy

We had a hermaphrodite dog come to us many many years ago (a SBT!). When they say in the article, "removed her male organs" I think they just mean they removed her/his testicles (or remnants of), which is what we did, we also removed her deformed uterus etc too. It wasn't a big deal!.

We had a hermaphrodite cat at my last practice for neutering also, not a huge deal either
