A neutered dog can still have sex – if he wants. If it has been long enough after the neuter, (typically they are completely sterile six to eight weeks after being neutered )he cannot impregnate the female.

    Yes that is possible. Sex does not happen in the gonads only. A lot of it happens in the brain.
