The cause of undescended testicle is unknown. Having a male relative (father/brother) who had the condition increases the risk, as well as premature birth, multiple births (twins, triplets, etc.), and low birth weight.
A baby's testicles should descend in the first few months of life. If it doesn't occur after about 3 or 4 months, a doctor should be contacted. Your son should be taken to a doctor immediately. There are two reasons for that:
1) undescended testicles may not produce sperm. The reason testicles are outside of the body is because the temperature is cooler there than inside the body. This cooler temperature is crucial to the production of viable sperm. Getting the testicle to descend into the scrotum early enough in life is critical to ensuring that he has a chance of having children when he becomes an adult.
2) an undescended testicle is more likely to develop testicular cancer.
An undescended testicle is a symptom of a condition known as cryptorchidism. There are usually no other symptoms except that the testicles aren't found in the scrotum. A surgery known as an orchiopexy is the main treatment.

Why isn't there a scrotum on a new pug was told he is not fixed?
It is because they haven't "dropped" yet. The testicles are still up inside it's body. They could be that way up to 4 to 5 weeks, but they usually "drop" around 2 to 3 weeks. If the dog is older than this, it is probably time to take it to the vet.

Can a male puppy be born with testicles?
Yes. That determines it to be male, along with another male organ called a penis. Sometimes the testicles do not descend down from the abdomen and are retained. You must have your Veterinarian do surgery to get them out as they can turn cancerous if left in. Male dogs are born with testicles, but they are generally inside the abdomen. The testicles usually "drop" by coming through the inguinal canal any time after 4 weeks of age.
