If this is true - isn't this something you could check before you purchase a male puppy....assuming that your puppy is 8 to 10 weeks old before you get it???

Well, from my experience, it is normal for them both to be down at this age and it is also considered normal for them to take longer. Usually if it hasn't dropped the vet can atleast feel it coming down even at 6 weeks of age. Again, I am only speaking from my experience and never had one retained.
