Polyorchidism, or more than one testicle in a hemiscrotum, is a relatively rare phenomenon. It is often associated with several other conditions, including inguinal hernia, testicular maldescent, testicular torsion, hydrocele or hypospadias.
It is theoretically possible for a dog to have more than two testicles. This is termed polyorchidism and is a congenital disease an animal can be born with. However, it is exceedingly rare, with only around 200 cases reported in humans, and only two seen in dogs.
Most of the time, a boy's testicles descend by the time he is 9 months old. Undescended testicles are common in infants who are born early. The problem occurs less in full-term infants. Some babies have a condition called retractile testes and the health care provider may not be able to find the testicles.
When male dogs are aroused, they have a swelling bilaterally of part of the penis in front of the scrotal sac that confuses some owners.

A pea-sized lump: Many spermatoceles look like a small lump that sits right above or behind a testicle. Most have a shape and size similar to a pea. A large growth: Occasionally, spermatoceles can grow quite large. Some men describe a large spermatocele as looking similar to a third testicle.
The testicles should feel smooth, without any lumps or bumps, and firm but not hard. You may feel a soft tube at the back of each testicle, which is called the epididymis. If you notice any changes or anything unusual about your testicles, you should see a GP.

At the age of 0-8 years, the left testicular volume (1.2 ml) was less than the right testicular volume (1.3 ml). At the age of 13 years, the testicular volume of all subjects was over 3 ml. Left testicular volume of boys aged 16.5-18 years ranged from 7 to 22 ml and the right testicular volume ranged from 6 to 22 ml.
The commonest reason for a testicle which cannot be seen or felt is that it is retractile, meaning that it moves upwards. This is especially common in children and is not of any concern.
An epididymal cyst is a small, smooth fluid-filled swelling that slowly develops in the epididymis (a coil-like structure behind the testicles that helps to store and transport sperm). They are often painless, but the affected testicle may sometimes ache or feel heavy.
Your scrotum looks or feels full of fluid
If your scrotum looks or feels like it's full of fluid on one or both sides, you may have a hydrocele. A hydrocele may be caused by inflammation or injury but it's not usually painful.
No, they don't expand. Most of your semen comes from glands inside your body. Only 3% to 5% is sperm cells, plus the sperm cells at the end of the vas deferens die even if not ejaculated, making room for more. So, there's nothing to fill up your testicles and make them larger.

All males have a cremaster muscle (a thin pouch-like muscle in which a testicle rests). When the cremaster muscle contracts (tightens), it pulls the testicle upward toward the body; this is known as the cremasteric reflex. The cremasteric reflex is brought on by such things as cold, touch, and anxiety.
The testicular width measure is a reliable criteria which is well correlated to the other morphologic and spermatic criteria (volume of ejaculate, spermatozoa concentration). The testicular growth is rapid (width: 0,6 mm/week) between 22 and 36 weeks of age.
Dogs with both testicles retained are usually sterile (unable to father puppies). Those with one normal testicle can still be fertile, although the quality of their sperm is reduced.
