We think his male staffy might of had a go with her could anybody tell me what the risks are and what should be done about it

Ok the dog wasnt put intentionally we know she is far to young to breed that is why the question was asked about the problems that might be caused they were seperated but the male got through 2 doors to get to her while nobody was in

Answer 1

They'll do that and yes she can be bred. Get her spayed NOW. Get your male neutered.

Answer 2

Yes if you have a b***h in season, and there is a dog around, they WILL attempt to mate. If she is not a breeding b***h, get her sterilized - neutered.
If your b***h is under 2 years old, being a larger breed, she is not yet fully mature, even if in season. This could lead to complications in birthing (possibly requiring a Cesarean), and a reduction in bone mass in you b***h, as the puppies take what they need from her, both in utro and in lactating, she will lose tone and may not be able to cope, depending on how many she has. You may have to feed the puppies, or complimentary feed, yourselves.
Better option would be to prevent her conceiving at this time. There are contraceptive pills for dogs, available from vets, if you are not sure you can keep the animals apart. Be aware that other dogs may attempt to mate her as well, so don't leave her where they can get to her.
There is a method of contraception after mating, but that may effect the possibility of future litters.
Do not ever attempt to separate mating animals, as this can damage the reproductive organs of both, as nature "locks" them together for the act.
If she does conceive, make sure she has the best diet you can provide, a whelping mix and possibly a vitamin/mineral supplement, to give her and the pups the best chance.

Answer 3

she is FAR too young to breed. you should not be breeding until she is 2 years old. is she a show dog? no? then don't breed her, get her spayed.
If she gets bred at this age she is at a high risk of having a miscarriage, needing a C-section, killing her puppies if she has them, not having enough milk, and various other things. if you are not going to get her spayed, then you must keep her separated until her heat is over.
think of it like this, she is not physically or emotionally ready. it would be like a ten year old having a baby. physically it is possible, but it is by no means healthy for the dog.
