No, without seeing anything nobody can tell you for sure. You are best speaking to a vet about something that is serious like this.

Any abnormal lump or abnormal discoloration should be suspect. It can be nothing serious or it can indeed be cancer. Some testicular cancers appear as open sores on the testicles..cancers can be observed on the outside of the testicle just as well as being an unseen lump.
The only correct diagnosis that can be made is by a vet…don’t wait to long as some cancers can spread quickly and if it is an infection some of those can become serious quickly.
As for breeding unless this dog has undergone and passed health testing …OFA on patellas, CERF/PRA eyes and other pertinent genetic test for the breed, been shown or evaluated to see if he is breed standard, has a superior pedigree then he should not be bred.

I would definitely have it checked asap. It may be cancer or perhaps a cyst or mole. Best to have the vet diagnose.

If you can see it on the outside, it is not testicular cancer. It may just be the skin of the scrotum callusing and turning colors, which is normal. I would have the dog neuter around 7 years old, and earlier if you are done breeding him.
