I'd take him to the vet for sure. Is he a show dog? Otherwise you should look into neutering him (if he's old enough.)

How old is he? That is a normal size.

What does neutering have to do with her question.

How pink are they? Is he starting to lick them raw? A vet visit may be in order if the licking is causing rawness. I believe there is a cream called Panalog? that will help with rawness caused by licking. If not, you could try spraying some apple bitters on his testicles (as long as there are no open sores OUCH) to stop his licking for a while and see if they change at all. There is no way to tell what is normal for size (within reason) of testicles as it is a genetic trait and dogs, just like humans, will come in different sizes.
