Hi,

I'm not totally an expert in breeding as all my pets are spayed and neutered.  I do know that if they were together the chances are pretty good she is pregnant.  I'd take her to your vet.  If she is in heat it is likely to happen again.  I'd consider getting one or both of them neutered if this worries you.  If they are from the same litter you may want to make sure she isn't pregnant at the vet's to avoid possible birth defects.  I wish I could offer you more really good news.  You take care and good luck

Answer
Oh good!!! Well, when they mate, the male's penis has a knot that will keep them joined until he is 'done'.  Are you saying they couldn't seperate and wanted to???  That may be beyond my knowledge base, as my dogs have always come from shelters and have been 'fixed'.  

I am sorry I can't be of more help.
