Kryptorchism mostly is inheritable, if you don´t use this dogs for breeding and keep an eye on increased cases in lines you normaly don´t get more cases in a breed. That´s one reason why it is so important that judges controll this mistake on dog shows.
I never had a German Shephard with this problem in my veterinary practice in 13 years now and you see quite a lot of them in Germany. One case now and then in a breed is absolutely normal.
