She will be fine. My mother breeds dogs, and we had a 6 mo. old yorkie breed by accident. She was confused when she gave birth, and she didn't quite understand wtf was going on.lol. However she was too small, but she did just fine. I'm sure your dog will too. You may want to bring her to the vet though if she is under 5lbs. She may need a c-section, but do call a vet and get advice on what to do. They will reccommend a c-section if she is under 5lbs. Buit I doubt she is. Make sure you are there when she delivers, she will be confused. However once the puppies are all out, her maternal instincts will kick right in.

You need to be responsible and keep your female safe when she is in heat. Breeding a female on her first heat is never recommended. It can be very hard on her and with a Peke you could lose the female as C-sections are not always risk free.
Toy breeds and breeds with large heads can be tricky to breed. Since you do not seem educated about dogs, I'd say get her spayed ASAP.
A friend bred Poms and bought tiny proven brood females (they'd each had one litter with NO c-sections). All were bred to Champion males and out of 3 females she had 3 C-sections and only ONE live male puppy and almost lost one of the females.
Breeding is not a game. Plus you need to research the health issues in your breed. Breeding too young, some conditions may not show up till they are 2 or 3. Toys may mature young but I would still NEVER breed without proper testing and waiting till they are 2 yrs old.
Accidental litters are just stupid....they are easy to prevent.
I hope your Peke is fine, I hope she is not pregnant and if she is, I hope all goes well and that you learn better for the future .
regards

Breeding a dog too young can affect many things including their skeletal growth, since much of the benefits from the food they take in, will now go to the puppies. It is like having a ten year old human having a baby. Just because they can, does not mean it is safe or recommended.
Be sure that she has extra food as the pregnancy progresses so that her body does not rob itself of nutrients to feed the fetuses.
If you do not know how big the father was, it would be wise to have the vet check her prior to 63 days post breeding, to assess whether she needs a C section. If that is necessary, she can be spayed at the same time, without causing any problem with nursing the puppies afterwards.
It is possible that she will reject the puppies or not have the instinct to mother them properly. This isn't common, but it does happen. Hopefully there will be enough hormones triggered with labor, to overcome any chance of this.

She will need you to read up on dog birthing. Gestation is 62 days. It can vary by a couple of days. Her temp. will drop 1 degree. Norm. is 101-102. Comfort her. Have plenty of clean dry rags or towels to help clean the sack off each pup. Mom will do most of the work but it is best if you at least be sure the face is clear so it can breath. Just take ahold of the sack and pinch with your nails. Sometimes it seems like they aren't going to do everything they need to, but theres a lot to do, not to mention resting, and preparing to deliver the next pup. Stay with her and tell her what a good mom she is. Give her lots of love. Be prepared by reading everything you can on the subject. It's too late to worry that she's too young if she's already pg. Unless, you plan to get her fixed, anyway. Then get her to a vet. They will neuter her and you can forget what I just said.

It would just hard on her developing body.
However toy breeds mature sooner than large breeds. Large breeds are not fully mature before 2 years of age. Since a Pekingese is a toy, and a year old it is probably ok to go ahead and breed her at her next cycle in 6 months.

just being young really doesnt make a huge difference. she may not take care of the puppies as good as an older dog would. but thats where you come in. there are very minor health risks. but ive seen plenty of healthy young moms and their pups.

If you don't know the answer to a simple question such as the one you have asked then you should not be breeding.
Dogs don't have periods.

No worries if she bred with another small dog.
If she bred with a bigger dog....she needs to see the vet for operation...or she can die.
