I'd give him a few months to let them drop properly. 1 Quote Link to post
carlton chase 37 Posted October 1, 2015 Author Report Share Posted October 1, 2015 Ok cheers I didn't think they'd be fully dropped he's only 7 months sometimes he ent got any there sometimes 1 sometimes two Quote Link to post
low plains drifter 10,482 Posted October 1, 2015 Report Share Posted October 1, 2015 (edited) Put a retainer on it, but get a second opinion aswell kidder Edited October 1, 2015 by low plains drifter Quote Link to post
lurchers 2,769 Posted October 2, 2015 Report Share Posted October 2, 2015 You should breed from him as what gnipper says for that reason but I've known dogs still have a good heathy life with only one ball anyway.theres nothing saying he will get cancer but just keep an eye on it as there is still plenty of time yet for them to drop mate.

carlton chase 37 Posted October 2, 2015 Author Report Share Posted October 2, 2015 Sound for advise boys Quote Link to post
carlton chase 37 Posted October 2, 2015 Author Report Share Posted October 2, 2015 I'm not worried about it making him different as I won't get both removed and as u say still time to drop but it won't affect his working ability Atall should it Quote Link to post
