I have a friend who picked a puppy out of a litter of 15 it is the runt and i think she said it is a black lab. the problem is they first thought it was a girl they go vist every weekend a couple of weeks later they noticed something and said oh it's a boy now a few weeks later it looks like it has female and male genatils (sp) they vet is not even sure which it is has anyone ever heard of this i never have. the vet told her that their should be no health issues only thing is it will have to be spayed and nuetered. even if there was health issues she would take it anyway she has visited it since the day it was born and it's now 7 weeks so she is very attached IP: Logged |

Rene, I posted your question on another board asking for their opinions. Below I have pasted an answer that was posted by a breeder.

Thanks Maisey i'm sure the vet will fix the dog at the right time i just thougt it was odd she is not sure what to name it now first it was going to be sofy for a girl and then dakota for a boy now she is not sure i told her dakota could be a both boy and girl name. that is also true i didnt think about the hormonal balance and training issues i will have to let her know but she loves this puppy and i'm sure she will do alot of research about this thanks again IP: Logged |

hi i have bred dogs for years and never came across a dog with both genitals very strange i knew it happend in humans but not in animals. Its wonderful that your friend is still willing to take on this puppy this shows a very caring person. Hope all goes well with the puppy please keep us posted mike IP: Logged |

Here are two more responses: "Bobbi's right,this does occur inhumans and is referred to as ambiguous genitalia.If the sex is unidentifiable a karyotype is done to see what the chromosomes show. "
