I've got a male pup that will be a year old in June. I just noticed he has no nuts. Nothing at all. I've heard were sometimes only one will drop, but this dog has nothing. I flipped him over , examined him and even felt for them and nothing at all. I would think they should have fallen by now. I'm bummed out becuase he is a really nice young male with great breeding. Has anyone else had this happen? At what age should you be able to actually see them ?

You should have seen them by now ...

I personally don't keep males whose testicles don't drop by 8 weeks of age. I have heard of some taking a few weeks to months longer though. However in your case, it has been too long. They should have dropped by now. Males whose testicles do not drop are very prone to cancer, he will need to have a vet perform surgery to remove his testicles (neuter him) and it will be more invasive than a typical neuter, but is best for his health.
