Annmarie09 5 Posted February 3, 2010 Report Share Posted February 3, 2010 The testicles can turn to tumours due to excessive heat inside the body, so the dog needs to be castrated. They can usually still sire pups, but the retained testicle problem can be hereditary so it would be unfair on the pups to risk it. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
