Question
i have a lab almost 5 mo. have read numerous different things on when the male testicles should drop. Do you have ny clue how long it takes or when they do if they come late.
i can see them when he lies down but thats about it.
thank you

Answer
Hi,
If he is not noticeably dropped by 9 months, I would have a vet check him.    And there is no set rule, only a vague norm.  Which is anywhere from 4 months to 2 years.  Sometimes they will drop faster if you bring him around a female that is in heat.

good luck with your pup
