Both dogs are mixed breed.

It's a distinct possibility. The male is over 3 times the size of the female. Why on earth would you have let them breed?
If this is a new pregnancy, contact a vet to have her spayed. This will terminate the pregnancy. Leaving her pregnant will put her life and the life of the pups in severe danger. Severe.
Get them both fixed. Mixed breed dogs should not be bred. Period.

there's an excellent chance the pups' heads will be too large to go thru the pelvic girdle - which means that U may need to get a vet to perform an emergency C-section, which is a very price-y thing.
U only have 63 days to get from breeding to birthing - so i hope that U have a big savings acct, a healthy checking-balance, or a good credit card.
if U have NONE of the above 3, please talk to the vet, ASAP ! they may be able to start a fund for Ur dog, perhaps they already have an emergency fund for animals who are in real need with owners who don't have enuf $$ for the treatment.
the sooner U start to prepare for a worst-case scenario, the better the chances Ur dog will make it thru alive and with at least some surviving pups.
at 31 days, the vet can do a pretty accurate count of baby-skulls via X-ray.
a late-term ultrasound will let the vet see just how big the pups' skulls are, and they can make an educated guess as to whether the mom can deliver them, or if they must be surgically removed.
PLEASE before the mom's next heat, GET HER SPAYED. this is a very risky predicament that U put her in, and her only protection from another dangerous pregancy is a spay! there are low-cost and no-cost desex programs all over the USA.

Small dogs can easily run into complications when whelping. Have your female checked out by a competent veterinarian ASAP. By having a ultrasound done you should be able to determine if the puppies size will be a problem for her. If they are too big, your vet will best be able to guide you in the right direction of how to handle the situation.
The website below is all about whelping and is way too much info to cut and paste.
I am so sorry that you did not do your homework before this happened. If you had, you would have found that over 7 to 10 million, not thousands, of cats and dogs are put to death in this country alone each year, because they have no homes to go to. All because of people not spaying and neutering when they are not being responsible breeders. This is not to lecture you, but to help educate everyone out there who has intentions of breeding when they should not, who has intentions of getting their dog/cat spayed/neutered, but do not.
So many of the ones that are killed are perfectly healthy, acceptable pets. There are just not enough homes for them all. Responsible breeding is the only answer to this tragic plight, and the rest of us need to spay or neuter our pets. Life should not be this disposible.
Responsible breeders are people who breed to improve upon the breed of dog for health and temperament reasons and because they love the breed they are involved with. Profit would be the least of their concern.

Most of the answers I've seen are not correct. Its probably not the best idea but it definetly does not mean the dog will need a c-section. That is pretty close to saying that if a 115 lb woman had a baby with a 300 lb guy that the female would need a c-section. The body knows how to regulate the babies weight so it can fit into the birth canal. The dog should be fine but I would keep a close eye on her when she is in labor.

Most likely yes, she will need a c-section to deliver the puppies. Be ready for a $1500 vet bill for an emergency c-section (if she even makes it through the pregnancy). It will be much cheaper and better for the female to have her spayed and your male neutered.

It is a very high possibility and because she is so small she might not have "puppies" but a puppy or two. I would have your vet check on her as it gets closer to her due date. She will have to have a c-section if the puppy is too big and if you dont catch her going into labor on time and the puppy is stuck in her long enough you could lose both her and the puppy(s) Just be careful and good luck!

You can't predict what will happen. Go to the vet and get a c-section so that nothing will go wrong last minuet and tell them to spay her in the process. Why would you be so irresponsible to let such a thing happen.

Are you insane? Get those dogs spayed and neutered!!
Your dog will probably have complications, if it goes undetected (like if your not home), she can die while in labor/delivery. Chances are, she'll need a c-section. Spaying her would have been cheaper than an emergency c-section!

yes the male is too big. the puppies will be to big for her to deliver and if you dont do something about her pregancy now she will die during labor.
