Dog shows and many other canine performance events do not allow the participation of neutered animals. That is because, theoretically, the purpose of these events is to select breeding stock and there is no purpose in exhibiting non-breeding stock. Dogs that are monorchids (so-called, but actually, unilateral cryptorchids) are also prohibited from competing. This is because cryptorchidism is an inherited defect and such dogs should not be bred. People who wish to cheat will have surgery done to remove the retained testicle and replace it with an artificial testicle. What would be even worse if such a dog were to obtain a championship, and then be bred (which they could, since they have one functional testicle) and then pass down the defect.

Other than that, I think it is, as a friend said “a harmless cosmetic affectation.” If done at the time of neutering, I see no problem. Afterwards, however, you are subjecting your dog to unnecessary surgery, which can never be justified.
