If she is in heat and not bleeding yet then it's not likely that they bred. Plus a male's testicles are down FAR before 11 mos of age. If they aren't down yet, at 11 mos he should be neutered, because he has retained his testicles and is at a risk to testicular cancer...

The heat cycle of a dog begins with a pale discharge for the first 5 to 12 days during this time they are not fertile, they just give off the scent at that time. The fertile time or Estus of a dogs heat cycle takes place after this and lasts for 7 to 9 days.the discharge will become dark and thick. And she will except sexual advances. If she goes out of her heat than Congratulations! And yes he can still reproduce if his testicles have not dropped. .

Unless you saw the dogs coupled together she shouldn't be pregnant. Coupling is usually for about atleast 8 - 15 minutes.
You may notice at the moment if she's early in heat that she keeps sitting when he comes near her and that means she is not quite ready to mate. Please keep her securely locked away from any males as she is way too young to have pups and won't know what to do (I know by experience).
In some male dogs their testi's don't come down ( a breeding fault and is hereditary) but they are still very fertile.
Hope this helps.

YA NEVER KNOW? Unless the person the owns the male dog saw them mating. You wont know untill she starts showing signs. I would say the chances are 50%
Cause there is a chance that she wasnt in the right stages of heat/ the male was fertile. and other things.

If his testicles haven't dropped yet by 11 months, chances are good that he's sterile. But if he's not and your dog allowed him to tie, then she was in the standing stage of her heat, meaning ready to be bred, so she will be pregnant.

i'll answer your question with a question. why is your 7 mth old UNSPAYED dachshund unsupervised? if your not going to keep her under wraps, she should be spayed. pregnancy at this age, she will not survive so you needn't worry.

if the males testicles have yet to drop then he will be sterile and your dog will not be pregnant (at least not by him)
