Our female dog has shown recent signs of being pregnant and the only dogs she has been around are both neutered. Has anyone heard of a neutered dog somehow being able to have gotten her pregnant?

G'day Anonymous, Thank you for your question. Dogs are neutered by removing their testicles preferably before six months. Once that is done, there should no chance of them producing sperm. I would check if she is pregnant. If she is, I suspect that it was another dog passing by when she was fertile. I have attached sources for your reference.

As long as both testicles were altered, no a neutered male cannot impregnant. False pregnancies are common and show signs exactly like a real pregnancy. At 25 days or so take your girl to the vet to have her palpated. If signs continue to progress and no puppies were felt (which still doesn't mean they aren't pregnant) have an ultrasound done shortly after or x-ray her around day 55.

Sometimes if a neutered male does happen to breed with your female. She may have what is called a False pregnancy and have ALL the symptoms of being pregnant. Otherwise I would suspect an accidental romantic meeting in the backyard of some sort.

Perhaps you should think about getting your female dog spayed. =D

It is possible that one of your nuetered dogs was not nuetered well and still has some "junk in his trunk". I would have the vet double check your dogs. It is also possible that your lady has a foreign lover who snuck into your backyard. It's usually best to have all of your dogs spayed and nuetered just in case something like this happens.

It is possible that your dog "almost" got neutered but didn't. Or theres a secret love machine wandering around your neighborhood!
