Question
My female dog has been in heat for 3 weeks. she is not bleeding and has no discharge. She is still a little swollen. My male dog and her tied up this morning (the one and only time this heat)for about 15-20 minutes. What is our chance for puppies?

Answer
Hi, there is one simple answer YES if they were tied that long and especially if the male turned round then I would say the chances of puppies are very very high, it is unusual for the male to want to bother if the female wasent ready and the female would see him off if she wasent ready so 63 days times you will be be hearing the patter of little paws Congratulations
Best Wishes
