We have a dog coming into rescue with one undescended testicle, the 
owners vet was still waiting to see if it would descend and the dog 
is 10 months old.  I imagine each vet has different thinking. It's my 
understanding that if testicles have not descended by 8 weeks, it is 
unlikely that they will. But then there are probably no set rules for 
this either.
