boxer testicals

Question
I have a 2 month old male puppy and he has not shown any signs of his balls dropping. Should I worry?

Answer
Hi Gina,

It can take several months for the testicles to come down, but I would probably be a little concerned if there was no sign of them at all at 8 weeks.  It may be worth having the vet take a look the next time he goes in to see if they can detect anything.  It won't affect him health-wise, of course - retained testicles should be removed at some point because they do have a higher chance of becoming cancerous, but it's a late-onset condition, not something that would happen in the first couple of years.
