Bump! Sorry, I have no words of wisdom for you. My boy was 12 months when he cMe home, so he was fully formed. He was neutered 5 days later. I hope someone else can help you out.

I got my boys when they were 12-13 weeks old, not sure if their testicles showed but they were neutered at 6 months.

Testis can take up to 8 months to drop, but it's normally apparent by 6 months. I'm not sure what you mean by "fixing" him. If you mean in terms of neutering him, it can still be done, the surgery is a bit more invasive. If it's because you are wanting to breed him, the short answer is don't. Cryptochidism is considered a birth defect.

6 months is a lost cause as a rule...and it costs more to neutered a male with undescendent testicles...breeder gave you poor info and should pay the extra cost of neutering...a reputable breeder that is..infact a reputable breeder would have discussed all this before selling...telling you the chances were slim and the cost was less due to extra neutering expenses..or agreed to split the cost etc...
