The short answer here is yes, but not all dogs go through with having their spaying/neutering procedure done (see below). So, while it’s possible for a neutered dog to impregnate a female, it’s also possible for a neutered dog to become sterile. When most people hear ‘sterile’, they immediately think of humans or cats being sterilized, but in fact, any animal can be sterilized. This includes dogs and other pets. There are two different types of sterilization procedures that can be performed on animals. The first one is called Spay-Neuter-Return (SNR) and involves surgically removing a dog’s reproductive organs and leaving them intact. The second method is called Ovariohysterectomy (OHE), where the testicles and ovaries are removed, but the uterus is left intact. The surgery for Spay-Neuter-Return (SNR) is similar to that of OHE, except that instead of removing the uterus, the SNR procedure leaves it intact, meaning that the dog still has the ability to carry a pregnancy to term. A dog’s ability to carry a pregnancy to term depends on whether it was born naturally, or via artificial insemination. If a dog is born naturally, then it does not need to undergo a sterilization procedure, as it already has its reproductive system intact. On the other hand, if a dog is artificially inseminated, then it needs to undergo a sterilization procedure before it can carry a pregnancy to term.
