Answer 1:
No, puppies don't need their dads to survive. Because puppies are usually adopted by pet shops or their owners.
Answer 2:
No they don't. In nature the pups are looked after by the mother, the father has litle to do with them. Dogs are basically pack animals so if the pups turn out to be part of a pack then there is some protection offered but that is coincidental as the whole pack tends to act as one protecting itself from outside influences.
Answer 3:
In the case of domestic dogs, after conception, no, puppies normally don't need their father. In many cases the female is very aggressive towards her partner if he tries to approach her "den".
Wolves, foxes, and other wild canids are a different story entirely. Wolves, most foxes and some other wild canids require both parents to pitch in and take care of the young and in some cases, depending on social structure, puppies from previous years are also enlisted to help raise their young brothers and sisters. This mostly consists of baby sitting and bringing food back to the den but it is a very important part of raising young.
