    Hi everyone

    this is a very odd question but my puppy is almost six months (next week) and he doesn’t have any testicles so I’m very concerned as I’ve read by now he should have what age did people notice their puppy’s testicles? I have a vet visit scheduled for him

    Hi Emma,

    Whilst most puppy's testicles drop by six months, it's not unheard of for a couple of outliers to wait longer. Permanently retained testicles are pretty unusual in Labs, but you also wouldn't be the first person here to experience it.

    Getting him checked over by a vet is definitely the right thing to do, please let us know how he gets on!

    At your first vet check the boys should be present and the get should be able to feel the buds. If you are concerned get your vet to check him.
