JUST a point of view from overseas:
Conformation titles are ONE part of what makes a dog suitable for breeding and that’s why we show our dogs. If the dog can’t reproduce, why waste our money on a show.
The rule saying, that the judges must check testicles is to discover
cryptorcism etc. (don’t know the English words) Such dogs can make much harm to the breed (opposite to spayed bitches 
) I am not into show…but AS FAR as I understand, the judge HAS to judge by the rules to the organisation (which overseas mostly would be FCI) which he/she belongs to and certificated him/her as judge or he/she would not be judge when the “jungle tromps” reach Europe: He judged (and worse placed) a dog without two correct placed testicles. I would not blame a judge for abiding to the rules (to keep his reliability and self-respect) but to the CLUB who invited a foreigner judge and NOT knowing what rules the judge HAS to follow and to pass this on to the entrants. Ordnung muss sein!!!
