From the age of 6 months on, the mature female dog will come into heat every 6 months. The heat cycle lasts approximately 2-3 weeks. During that time they will ovulate and that is when they can become pregnant, with a male dog's help of course. There is only a window of about 3 -4 days that the egg can be fertilized. So yes the female dog has to be in heat to become pregnant. You should spay your female dog though if you want her to live a longer and healthier life.

They still may have the urge after being fixed if the female is in heat, or goes into heat. Just because the male is fixed, doesn't mean he has lost the urge, or can't do it any more. All that has been removed is his nuts and sperm. Therefore, the male and female can still mate and get locked up, but can not get pregnant unless it is recently after the male has been fixed and he still has a little bit of sperm in his system.
