QuestionMy dog who is 1/2 Yorkie and 1/2 Pomeranian weighs about 3-3.5 pounds, she went into heat and my other dog, full blood yorkie who weighs at least 5 pounds mated with her. He is only 8 months old but I know they "got together" several times. I am worried because of her size, obviously, do you think as young as the male is that he could be fertile. Do you think this pregnancy could harm my dog?
AnswerYes, It is possible for a dog of 8 months old to father a litter of puppies. Yes, also to the question that your female could have problems delivering puppies. You need to take her to your vet and have him check her for pregnancy, he can tell you how to proceed if she is indeed pregnant.If she is, you will want your vet on standby for any complications that may arise, especially if your female needs a C-section.
