there is a possibility that she is prego, but you will be able to tell after 35 days. when they tied were they tied for more then 10 min each time or less? i breed golden retrievers and it sometimes can only take just once for it to happen. the way you can tell is if she doesn't eat much at the begining and then she will eat alot before she has the pups or she will eat awhole lot at the begining and then before she has the pups she will not eat much at the end. the gestation for a dog is 65-68 days. but after 35 days you should take her to the vet to have an ultra-sound done and then they will be able to let you know if she took and how many pups she has. so she will not or she will eat, nipples will get bigger and she will fill out in the rib area, become attached to you more,she will not act herself like playing or running around. make sure that right now til you get her looked at keep her from running because she can miscarry the litter and let me tell you it is hard to take when you loose a litter of puppies. good luck

No breeding female should be bred 6 times in a row.
It is not for sure she is pregnant. She is extremely immature and it may not have taken, if you are lucky.
Your girl is a puppy and should be treated like one. Go to the vet and see what they can do to end the pregnancy or treat her with extra care.
When you breed puppies it is like breeding a 12 year old girl. Your puppy will not have the maternal skills to care for her puppies and it is a HUGE physical strain on any mother, but especially one that needs all of her nutrition for her own growth, much less a litter.
Average and large breeds should not breed until 2 years old. Toys should not breed before 1 and a half at least.
Go see your vet, tell him/her about the mistake that was made and see what they think you should do.
You are setting yourself up for losing your puppy to death during whelping. What you did was no accident either.

As much as I hate to see someone get screamed at for breeding their dogs....there are times that I really cant understand the human ignorance. I am sorry if I am nasty, I really don't know a nice way to say it.
As has been said several times already:
Once=accident. 6 Times=intentional.
At 11 months of age, that is like a 12 year old child becoming pregnant. YES it can be done, and your poor baby is most likely pregnant.
Her body is not nearly mature enough to be developing babies, she needs all the nourishment she gets just to grow her own bones and body, now the nutrients will have to be dividing it up between all her forming babies and her body. You will run a huge risk of loosing the mom and/or the babies.
I am a breeder and you make me want to throw up, not because of you, I am not concerned with you....maybe you have enough sense to take care of yourself.
I am so sorry your pet has to have a owner that does not care enough about her to take care of her. There is NO way you could care about her or you would have read all about dogs so you would know what she would need to be cared for.

No not necessarily - but it's highly likely. How long ago was this? You can have an ultrasound at the vet to determine if she is pregnant but many ppl don't recommend this as it has been said that ultrasounds can damage the puppies and are cost prohibitive. If the puppies are unwanted, it will be quite difficult (in australia) to find a vet who will perform an abortion (I know this happened to my ***** who was made pregnant by her son! and they still wouldn't perform an abortion) but many will perform a hysterectomy and abortion at the same time although it will cost more. I'd get it done earlier rather than later as aborting puppies that are almost ready to be born is really sad. Act quickly as dog gestation is short not like humans!

I doubt very much your dog got stuck, as you call it, 6 times in a row. Maybe 6 times in a given day, but I breed dogs and never seen that happen, well then again I never let that happen. In a row ..hardly.

Your female is very very young to be having puppys.
It is going to be hard on her. Your'e going to need to be sure she has good vet care both before and after the litter.
Once is an accident 6 times is on purpose.
This dog needs to be spayed after this litter. It sounds like very irresponsible breeding.

You REALLY shouldn't have done this at this age!! You could potentially run into problems, this is going to be hard on your poor dog. Her body truly isn't mature enough for pups. Vets recommend at least 2 years old when they are fully matured. Good chance she is pregnant - that poor, poor dog!!!

Why did you allow such a young dog to potentially become pregnant. She's way too young to be having puppies. Once=accident. 6 Times=intentional.

more than likely she is pregnant although I believe if she takes a long time before she delivers you might want to take her to the vet, she ,might have a false pregnancy.
