So my question is - is he able to get another dog pregnant? I know they won't put him with a female dog in heat, but I'm just curious if the undecended testicle affects reproduction? Also, at what age are male dogs able to reproduce?
An undescended testicle can affect reproduction, but it's my understanding that most of them are fertile. Each is an individual, but it wouldn't surprise me if he's already old enough to do the deed.
