Any entire (not neutered) male can get testicle cancer, it does not matter the breed. This disease can only be treated by castration or it can spread and become life-threatening. Of course, neutered males cannot get this disease and so it is a wise idea to neuter a male that is not needed for breeding. This operation also reduces or eliminates some aggression and hyper-sexual behaviour and the surgery is almost completely risk free.

If you have one undescended testicle which of your two testes is more likely to develop cancer?
For people with one undescended testicle who develop cancer, the undescended testicle is the one that has the cancer 80% of the time. Since the descended testicle can develop cancer 20% of the time, removal of the undescended testicle is rarely performed anymore as it used to be. Careful examination of the testicles is important, especially in someone who has history of an undescended one. Hope this helps! Dr. B.
