Neutered male.... questions with breeding... - YorkieTalk.com Forums

Ok, this may sound funny or strange, but I have a really weird question. Can a male dog that has been neutered still get hooked to a female dog that is in heat? I know if he's neutered, it won't produce puppies, but I didn't know if they could actually hook up. This question isn't for me with my yorkies, but for a friend who has a female beagle that is in heat and their next door neighbor's dog got hooked with their dog, but their neighbor told them that he's fixed. So I was curious. Thanks to whoever can help me on this question.

Although neutering removes the majority of male testosterone there is still some produced to give some males the urge. The erection and tie are due to blood flow and have nothing to do with the sperm. The male was probably neutered later in life. So yes, it is possible to that they became tied, but it is not possible that she will become pregnant, if the dog was in fact neutered.
