Neutering question

Since we adopted a dog from the shelter, state law requires neutering. He looks neutered to me. The vet said his testicles haven't descended. What age does that happen? I'd hate to neuter him twice...

I think he's intact. How old?

Vet's best guess was "about a year". I appreciate the second opinion, that helps me feel a little better about taking him in.

Get those non-dropped nutz out ... Cryptorchidism markedly increases the chances of testicular cancer.

The cancer is normally down the road a ways. I have never found a need to rush it but just do it within the first few years.
