You can wait and have him neutered at the regular 7 months of age unless you see something going wrong but i have never heard of it causing a problem as long as neutering is done preferrably before a year old. It will be a bit more cost to neuter as the surgery is a little more complicated. From what I understand, it is hereditary I think. He will still be a lovely pet but when I sold one (pet only) the one testicle still hadn't come down by the time neutering was scheduled and I paid the Vet the extra portion of the cost for that neutering, owner paid just the regular neutering fee portion.
Sometimes they do come down later but should be before 7 or 8 months that is not unusual. If both aren't descended by then, they likely won't.
