If they haven't both dropped by 12 months of age, then they probably are not going to. I have a Spitz that also had one undesended testicle....the vet said give it til he was a year old...I waited a little longer and it still didn't drop. I finally took him in and had him neutered.

I agree with Tom, while there is a chance it might drop it is not likely at this late stage.
Not only is this a heritable defect, the retained testicle is more prone to cancer since testicles are not meant to be in such a warm environment. Neutering is a must in cryptorchid dogs.

to respond to, certain, it ought to drop, yet when it hasn't by making use of a year of age, or 18 months, you should have it bumped off by making use of a vet to ward off maximum cancers. He ought to nonetheless be fertile with one testicle, yet does no longer be able to be shown, so that you'll ought to educate him as a worth sire in some incorrect way. He won't be able to be shown with in reality one testicle descended, so i am hoping the different does drop. some dogs merely take a lengthy time period. to discover more advantageous advice in this difficulty, seek for Cryptorchidism by google.

As a long time Beagle breeder,, I would say that there is reason for consern at 9 months. That is getting pretty late. AKC allows a dog to be shown at 6 months of age, and it is a requirement that both testies have droped.
It should be noted that this IS a common problem with Beagles. So have your vet take a look.
NEVER-EVER BREED A DOG WITH THIS PROBLEM!!!!!!!!!! It is GENETIC , and he WILL pass the problem on to his gets!!!!!!!!!!

At nine months, the testicle is probably going to be retained. As others have said, do not breed this genetic defect and please have him castrated because retained testicle have a high incidence of becoming cancerous.

This could be due to some genetic defect.The inguinal canal may be narrow.Or, it could be that it is a matter of time.

Why do you can unless you are going to breed that animal? Most pets should be spayed or neutered to prevent filling the world with unwanted and un-cared-for animals.

it might still drop, but there is a chance that it wont. it really doesnt matter at all. even if you breed him, he could still do well. but i strongly suggest neutering your dog. it is better for his health.
