| Male yorkie question. Ok, I have had only one male dog in my life. On a male Yorkie, do their testicles show like a Chihuahua's do, or are they unseen? I am just curious because Harley is almost 6 mths and I cant see anythind major going on down there!!! Can somebody PLEASE give me some advice?

Donating YT 14K Club Member | Oh No, You should be able to see some peanut size ones around 12 weeks. I have heard that this trait is becoming more common. Chances are, he won't have any if he's 6 months and they haven't dropped yet. Have you felt up there? Do you feel anything? Well, if you're looking for a breeding male, you'll have to look elsewhere. Otherwise on the bright side, at least you won't have to have him neutered!

| Well, there are little bud looking things down there. Should I get him examined? He hasn't been acting right the last few days?

| Jo has dropped only one of his and we had him checked for the second one today but it can't be felt anywhere which means it's most likely in his abdomen. When this happens the male still needs to be neutered because it can cause health problems in the future. |

| I remember when I took Bailey to the vet for his first check up and that was one of the first things he checked, he said it is not uncomman for them to NOT drop,, so he was glad that his had already,, I'd ask your vet,, he should have checked that.

Sometimes there is a little tissue barrier that is keeping them from falling. A vet will be able to determine this and fix the situation.

| I just had Bailey examined by his vet and he only felt one. he is only 10 weeks old so i can not see anything yet. he told me that if the 2nd does not drop that it will cause health problems, possibly a tumer. if that is the case then a more envolved surgery will have to happen for the neutering. they will have to go in and find it poor lil' guys |

| Hi! You might want to have a vet look at him--they just may not be dropping. Oscar is 7mo. and his are big |
