Dog question for the Vets and Vet Techs out there

My brother's dog is a male and he's the only male dog we've had, we always had females as they seem to be easier to house train. Anyway, he was neutered several months ago. But the neighbor's bitch, who is going in to heat has been hanging around. Just a few minutes ago I went to check on our dog, Ruger when he was outside. He and the neighbor's dog are locked up right now. So my question was, is a correctly neutered male dog capable of locking up with a female? Or should we be asking the vet some questions? Thanks for any answers to what is probably a stupid question!
 
They are perfectly capable to doing the dirty deed...they just end up shooting blanks. I know of several neutered males that will still lock up with a female if given the opportunity.

And tell your neighbor to get his female spayed.
 
Thanks for the answer! That is a bit of a relief, I kind of thought that might be the case but I don't understand 100% how neutering works either.
 
My dog is neutered and he still thinks he's all there and all over it. Our male cat (neutered) is always on our females (spayed) makes me crazy.
 
With the removal of the testicles is also removal of the hormones. Males can and do tie up with females anyway, especially if it's after a recent neutering. It can take a while for all the testosterone to work out of the system. It's a good idea not to leave your dog unattended in an unfenced yard as there's worse than unspayed females out there! Hopefully the neighbor will spay the female before she ties up with an intact male and brings yet more puppies into the world. As a rescuer, it makes me crazy that so many people won't take responsibility for their animals!
