Mmmmmmmm, well, your dog is gettin real close to her first heat so you need to be careful.
Oh, and if it did happen, it could be very dangerous for your dog because of her age.

Well, it could be. It depends on if she goes into her first heat cycle quick. I doubt she will have a silent heat on her first one, as most don't but it also could happen. I think you may have a couple of more months of peace, but it going to go away quick.
You also do not want her pregs on her first heat cycle. That is way too much on the girl, and being so young, she may not make the best mom.
If you are not planning to breed her, get her fixxed around 6 months old. Some people like to wait for the first heat cycle to go through.
Also, when she does go into heat and bleeds for weeks, do not leave her unattended outdoors. Another recipe for disaster.
Best of luck.

It is absolutely a possibility if she goes into heat while he is there. If you don't want her to have pups, definitely get her fixed. Six months old is a good age to do the procedure safely.

at 6 months, if she comes into heat, yes, she can get pregnant. She is also old enough to be spayed tho, which will prevent a pregnancy.
Spaying before a first heat also reduces the risk of certain types of cancers, and also prevents pyometria, a serious and deadly uterine infection.

it's chancy. A dog can come into heat at 6 months and if she does then yes she can get pregnant.
YOu can however get her spayed at this age and then you wouldn't have to worry

If she comes into heat while the male is there, yes, she can get pregnant.

If she comes into heat while he is there, she sure can! Better keep a close eye on them!
