Generally before six months of age. If you don't see one or both by this time--and they may still disappear again, if the puppy is cold or excited--there is a likelihood that your pup has one (or two) undescended testicles. If this is the case, castration is generally the preferred treatment option as the dog is unable to be shown in conformation, it is inadvisable to breed it (cryptorchidism is a recessive trait that could be passed on), and increases the dog's chances for developing testicular cancer.

Some individuals, however, may be as much as a year old before both testicles are fully descended into the scrotum at all times.

When do male cocker spaniel testicles drop?

Male cocker spaniel testicles typically drop between 6 to 12 weeks of age. In some cases, it can take a little longer, but most puppies will have both testicles descended by the time they reach 6 months. If a testicle has not descended by this age, it may be a concern that should be evaluated by a veterinarian. Early detection is important for potential health implications.


How is castration different from neutering?

Vasectomy means severing the ducts leading from the testicles, but leaving the testicles in place. Means the dog can't father any puppies, but will keep all the behaviour parts of being male, like aggression. Castration or neutering means removing the testicles entirely. W/o testicles the dog's testosterone levels will drop, making the dog less aggressive and less challenging.


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.
