One of the checks a newborn goes through before they leave the hospital is to see if both of their testicles have descended. And most boys, have descended testicles at birth, though it is still considered normal for a testicle to be undescended up to 1 year old. After 1 year old, the boy should see a doctor to see if it can be corrected.
There is a condition where men have testicles that do come down into the scrotum but retract easily, this is called retractile testicles, but it needs to be diagnosed in person by a physician.
But in general, if a child hasn't had his testicles descend after 1 year of age, he needs to be seen right away. There are increased risks of sterility and testicular cancer for boys whose testicles stay in the abdomen too long. This is a condition called cryptorchidism, and is often corrected surgically.

A Cryptorchid is a male horse who has at least one testicle that was retained in the abdomen. Normally a colt's testicles will descend or "drop" at about 1 year, and a ring (Inguinal ring) closes above it to keep it in the scrotum. Sometimes the ring closes and leaves the testicle in the abdomen instead of the scrotum.

Yes he can sire pups, but this is a genetic problem and he WILL pass it on. This can be passed from both the sire and the dams side.

Any vet will strongly advise you to have him neutered, as he will be highly susceptible to testicular cancer . It is not just poodles that this happens to, but all breeds
