QUESTION: erm 12 day of her cycle

Answer
If she hasn't had a full tie, then you may want to try again just one more time to be on the safe side. If she was bred a day or so ago, then she may have become pregnant. A dog can become pregnant without a tie, but most breeders prefer one. Try one more time, and if you have to, hold the dogs together after the male is done, keep his penis inside of her, and try to keep them together for about 5 minutes if you can. Good luck!
