I won't neuter any dog, until the growth plates close. A lateralXray view of the tibia can confirm if this last growth plate to close, has closed.

A testicle can descend up to one year old, and as puppies young dogs, they can go up and down.

Research has indicated for males that it is best to neuter a male who has only one dropped testicle. Having said that, generally speaking there are not a lot of persuasive health benefits to early neutering or indeed even neutering a male
