The vet can remove it during his neuter. Depending on its location, his neuter will most likely be more like a spay.

The testicle will need to be removed, it has a much higher chance of becoming cancerous if left in the body.

Cryptochid dogs should not be bred, as it can be genetic.

Re: 15 weeks old

at fifteen weeks it may still be dropping and in many dogs they go up and down for a while. I would leave it alone and stop touching it....... sometimes boys can pull them up if they are being handled and you really want gravity to pull it down and keep it down. I would leave it alone and have it checked again in a month or two..... at six months if its not down its probably not coming down.

Question Re: 15 weeks old

Thank you, beautiful Dogs you have !

Thank`s, i dont touch on it just when i saw both testicles i wanted to make sure it was 2. I agree with waiting a while to see if it maybe still drops.
i told the Breeder about it, she din`t say much.....
