Neutered dogs do not have testicles.

However, dogs that are neutered later in life will have fully developed scrotums prior to the surgery.

After surgery their scrotums will be intact but devoid of testicles.

Connective tissue and tied off blood vessels in the scrotum can sometimes look like testicles from a distance.

The scrotum is often swollen in the first few days after surgery, leading some people to wonder if the procedure was really performed. If the dog is immature at the time of neutering, the empty scrotum will flatten out as he grows. If he is mature at the time of neuter, the empty scrotum will remain as a flap of skin.
