Question
I have a 1yr old pug she tied with my male pug on 9/24 and again on 9/29 twice dat day I see her alittle bigger and her nipples other than that can't tell

Answer
Hi Miriam

If a female is in heat and has tied to a male, twice then pregnancy shouldn't be "unexpected".

Because she's a young female, and a pug, both can have issues with whelping and rearing their litter.

Gestation is approximately 63 days and you have a week of variance to go by.  She could have a small litter or missed her cycle.  My advise is to take her to the vet for x-rays.  With any of the bully breeds, it's a good idea to know what your are expecting.

Good luck
