| I am a newbie here.... my yorkie testicles have not dropped Hey guys I am a newbie to this site... I have a brand new Yorkie I have had for 2 days.... he was born 11-04-06 so he is 3 months old.... he is very active, but very very small, the breeder I got him from has bred Yorkies for 25 years... she keeps them all inside her home and does not breed any other type of dog... She seems very knowledgable and has been very supportive and willing to answer any questions... BBBBBUUUUUTTTTTTTT I want to hear from the other experts.... the one that have no vested interest.... My baby is like I said 3 months old and there are no signs of any testicles.... no nothing.... He is very tiny .... weighs only 1.1 lb but very active and playful I have been a yorkie owner to a 2 yr old Yorkie that only weighs 3 lbs so she went ahead and let him come to live with me since I am home all the time to watch him and care for him ,,,, otherwise she was going to hold on to him for another 3 weeks or so... ( my other yorkie was 4 months old before I got him ) My question is should I be concerned????? will they come down later since he is so small??? that is what the breeder is saying.... but I want to hear what you guys have experienced..... He is a doll and taking him back is not an option to me..... although the breeder has told me she would take him back with complete refund.... I am taking him to the vet on Thursday 2-8-. |

| My Bobo had retained testicles also, he was 1lbs or so at that age, by 5 mos his had not come down, he also had liver shunt surgery and at that time they were able to locate the testicles and remove them, my breeder also said that they would come down later, but they didn't my vet said they would not. just my experience |

| Have you taken him to the vet for a checkup yet? They can usually feel them. My Maltese didn't show any sign of them until he was almost 5 mos old.

| Both my boys are 10 1/2 weeks old and I just did a "feel test", lol... and I felt both boys had two really tiny little "balls" down there. But it seems that the age range can vary from the posts on here.

Yorkie Kisses are the Best! Donating Member | Ok, I HAVE to say this. Everytime I see the Title of this thread I read : I am a newbie here.... my testicles have not dropped and I just feel SO sorry for you - then I SEE the word yorkie in there & it makes sense - it must be a mental block today |

Donating YT 14K Club Member | Dallas is 4 1/2 months old and you can finally feel his apple seeds. They are starting to come down but barely. It just takes time.

| I am sorry I didn't see the post go through so I posted again.... now you can all make your comments to me again... My testicles still have not dropped but my husband just told me I don't have any.... Maybe I should have surgery and see if they can find them... Thank you all for your comments.... I take him to the vet on Friday... she is a yorkie owner and is out of town until then... I chose to wait on her rather than taking him to her partner.. I did notice last night after playin with him and him being very excited he had two little bulges on the shaft of his penis ,,,,, I don't know what that is but my fixed Yorkie does that sometime when he is playing and excited... I looked that up on the internet and found that that was normal ,,, but I don't know if that is in any way related... |
