So earlier in the week I was in the chatroom and I don't remember who (sorry) said that Thor should already have his jewels and they should already be dropped.

Now, I felt like a real weirdo looking at my puppys junk, and even weirder feeling around down there, he has them they are pea sized, maybe a little bigger, but they definately haven't "dropped" as such.

Is 9 weeks cause for stress? I was under the assumption they didn't really drop until 4-5 months old? Sometimes longer?

Sorry for the bizarre question, I don't want my boy having any issues.

Still feel weird about what I did

His testicles won't have dropped by 2 months old, that's very young still. Usually around 6 months old most have dropped some have taken up to 8-10 months old that I've seen. Anything longer than that would be cause for concern and a neuter.

Awesome I've only owned girl dogs and I thought it seemed bizzare someone said they should have dropped by now, thanks

Did he smile.

Both of Kale's decended when he was 5 months don't worry, i do weekly rub downs to check for lumps, bumps, and abnormalites so he's always getting felt up lol

Our trained suggest we did a touch every part of the dog giving them treats in order to help desensitised then for vet visits and the such.

I would not worry about it.

I gotta disagree with you on this one Kristina. The majority of dogs do infact start testicle descent by 8 - 10 weeks. It should be fully descended by 6 months, but a close friend (and ethical breeder of Siberian Huskies) stated that she has very rarely seen testicles drop in a dog, if they haven't done so by 3 - 4 months. It's very rare.

Here is a link with a little bit more information.

I'm a creeper too, we check Catos. at 10 weeks, his were like little pea-size bumps. If that helps.

As weird as it sounds, I check Delilahs goods too, simply because I want to be sure nothing is going wrong.

Haha he sorta just looked at me like;

I know Balon had one descend before the other lol, but they are both down now, he is 5 months now! In fact tomorrow he goes for his second lymes disease vacc and I want to schedule his neutering! Poor guy!

When we first got Ares his original owner said that at 4 months his one testicle still wasn't dropped. Obviously I checked when we got home and they were both there. I'm sure they'll show up eventually
