| There are 2 testicles and one hasnt dropped. It is somewhat common in tiny yorkies. My Chachi who was fairly decent sized testicles didnt drop untill he was 7 months. Are you going to have your boy neutered? If so the vet can still do it it is just a little more to it than a regular neuter

| Yes two. The vet should be able to find the other one and how far it needs to come down. If it is retained (usually one year is the mark of if it will come down or not) he must be fixed...one you don't want to pass this on and two it can become cancerous. Good Luck!
