Hi everyone...
I know this subject has probably been beaten into the ground already, but I have a new twist. My boxer (Murphy) is almost 5 months and his testicles have not dropped. My vet said this happens sometimes and they could still fix him (just cost ~70 bucks more - have to open him up a little more). Does anyone know if undescended testicles still produce sperm/hormones the same as a dog with "normal anatomy?" And, if not, would it be necessary to fix him then. He is fairly laid back as it is... is it going to be a problem if I don't get him fixed? Any input would appreciated.... thanks.
