Sorry about the heading but there is no other way I can put the question. I have an 8 month old dog puppy and it is so long since I have had a male that I don't know if his are smller than normal or not. I do realize that like most males there a wide varience in size but I googled the question and of course all I got was pornagraphic sites. Is there a web site that has the testicular growth in Labrador dogs.

I was wondering the same about the size of my girl's privates too, she seems very small to me.

in that age bracket are not very developed. Just curious. Please don't think I'm warped. How big are they?

You can't feel any more warped than me for asking the question, they are about the size of a walnut.

Too funny...I have an eight month old boy here and I was thinking the same thing the other day! He too is not impressively endowed at the moment

OK... 7 months and the size of walnut with the shell on! This is too funny! Hope this help!

Now, is that the entire scrotum, or each individual testicle that is the size of a walnut?

Each one.

Then what's the worry? No problem!

I wouldn't worry about it. My 4 month old's testicles are about that size now. I'm praying he doesn't end up with baseballs.

It's not so much the size, as the firmness that would cause me concern. They should feel firm. If they lose that firmness, and begin to feel boggy, this signals an issue. I had a male that this happened to. His testicles both finally atrophied to nothing. His tests were Neg. for Brucella, thyroid normal. It was suspected that he had something producing estrogen... tumor or hidden ovary (yep, ovary). They never found either. When he was neutered, all that was left was the scrotum and a mess of tissue that were once egg sized testicles. Nobody knows if it was some autoimmune issue attacking the testes, or not. Many years later, he is healthy, happy, and growing old in a pet home.

LOL, if I didn't know any better, I'd think that my fiance posted this question! We have an 8-month-old pup with the same issue. He has grown so fast, but his testicles haven't really caught up yet. They too are each about the size of a walnut and my fiance is worried about his fertility. I keep telling him not to worry, that when he matures, they should be fine and this is not an indication of a fertility problem. I'll have to show him this thread!

Laura you are a riot but warn me next time please, btw thanks for making me spit my diet pepsi on the edge of my new keyboard (it still works so far lol)

Hummm? How we worry about those things. I worried last summer when my boy's went bald! Thankfully got some fuzzies back on them now.

Thanks for the replies, each one is the size of a smallish walnut, nice and firm tho, he to is a big fast growing boy so I guess we just wait and see how he progresses. My husband is starting to think the dog gets more "handling" than he does, at the moment he is most like right.

Ha! My husband says the same! I tell him that if he'll give me 800 bucks, I'll collect him, too!

You all are a riot!!!!

I didn't know this forum was hazardous to one's health! "a baseball!" I choked on a cookie and then "pay me $800". Diet Sierra Mist through the nose is not pretty!!!!!!!!!

They sound just the right size to me. I have a 5 month old and was thinking he is way to small. Marbles, little marbles. But guess they are all different. With Laura's like baseball, whoa. Maybe the little ones are better at this stage. But yes, the boys are cute with all the little parts.

Wait just a second!

With Laura's like baseballs

For the record, I don't have any. I'm talking about my puppy's testicles. LOL

I can hear the rumors starting now. LMBO!!

I would say that is not uncommon at that age at all.

Now Laura.....That's not what I've heard. There's something about them being made of brass too. Bwaaahahahahahahh.

Oh please don't ban me from your forum for this....I'm just kidding....REALLY!

you're bad Jamie!
