We got him years ago from a rescue. He's a full blooded daschund, and was only neutered when he went to the rescue. So, I'm wondering if they did it right, since it appears that our new 9 month old daschund is pregnant!

A properly neutered dog can't get a female pregnant. If she is pregnant, it's more likely she mixed with a different dog.

A neutered dog can NOT sire a litter. When a neuter is done the testicles are completely removed making reproduction impossible.
If your female is indeed pregnant it means one of two things 1) your male wasn't neutered but this would be VERY evident
2) your female came in contact with an intact male while she was in heat
A retained testicle can and will be removed at the time of neutering. A vet can easily tell if a testicle has been retained. A good vet will never not remove a retained testicle since a retained testicle is at a VERY high risk of cancer and other problems. Also a retained testicle can cause serious hormonal problems ....aggression to name one..retained testicles are 99% sterile so the odds of a dog even becoming inpregnated by a dog with a retained testicle is very, very low.

He grew to become into fixed 3 months in the past.. he can't get her pregnant. The vet eliminates the testicles while he neuters a canines. there's no longer something to removing them.. if the canines grew to become into no longer totally descended, the vet could have made a deeper incision to retrieve them. The vet cuts an incision, pops the testicles out by the incision then snips them off.. there's no thank you to go away any of it in the back of! A neutered male has much less testosterone.. yet while a woman is in warmth, he's able to doing what instincts tell him to do. he's no longer as persistent as an intact male, yet a neutered male remains able to tying with a woman. My canines grew to become into snipped at 5 months, tied with a woman later while he grew to become right into some 12 months previous.. and no doggies resulted. Now, if a male grew to become into extra presently neutered, say, the previous 30 days or so, this is available that he ought to nonetheless have some "leftover" sperm in his gadget.. yet sperm has a short lifespan and does no longer proceed to exist long. he's no longer making new sperm to swap it... he has NO little swimmers. This lady is an fool, and can be spayed herself.

Here's a way a neutered dog can sire:
If he donated semen for collection prior to the neuter, and the ***** was artificially inseminated afterward. This is also how some dogs sire after they die (it's fairly commonplace among show dogs).
I know this doesn't address your question, but I'm just throwing out a new possibility.

A neutered animal can't sire a litter. However if they were neutered after being sexually active, they often would mount the female in heat. I've had a couple breeder cats that did this.

If the dog was in fact NEUTERED...he cannot produce puppies as the testicles were removed. Are they gone, or still there???? You can feel and tell if they are there or not. If they are not there....your girl is either NOT pregnant, having a false pregnancy, or got bred by another dog.

No, when an animal is neutered both testicles are removed, thus they cannot breed.
Even if both testicles were in the abdomen, animals with BOTH testicles undescended are generally sterile.
the likelihood is that she is either in a false pregnancy, or she was left unattended and bred by a loose dog. Have her checked by a vet

Possibly. He could have what is called a crypted or cryptic organ. It means that one of his testicals is still up inside, like it never dropped, and you can't remove it while fixing him. The vet who neutered him might have thought that he only had one testicle, due to something, and removed the other one, saying he was fixed. I work for two vets, and this is a true scenario.
Do you know for sure that she did not get out though?

Yes, according to:
http://www.vetmed.ucdavis.edu/CCAB/manage.htm
"It should also be noted that sperm may still be found in the male for up to 21 days in the dog and up to 49 days in the cat after neutering and may cause pregnancy if allowed to breed."

If there is not a sack hanging down between his hind legs then he WAS neutered. He can't make get a dam pregnant because he has nothing to send into her womb.
