Default Dogs breeding but not in heat?

I know this sounds rediculous, but Lola is not in heat. My mom told me that while I was at church last night, she went to let my dogs in my house after she let them out to go potty, and Lola and Joe were hooked together. I said "What do you mean?" and she thought I was stupid. I told her Lola isnt even in heat, isnt due to come into heat for a couple more months, and I planned on her breeding then, but she has had no signs of coming into heat. Lola is OBVIOUS when she is in heat. She bleeds a lot, she swells huge, her boobs get big, and she doesnt let Joe NEAR her. The only thing different I have noticed about her over the past 2 weeks is that she has been holding her tail down. Her tail has never been down, its always been super tightly curled up. I thought perhaps she was holding it down because Diesel keep biting it and pulling on it all the time I even checked her 2 days ago because I noticed Joe trying to mount her (which isnt terribly uncommon anyway) a lot, and figured she could go into heat early, but there was nothing. She is shaved right now too (posted about how TICKED I was at the groomer), so I would REALLY notice the swelling.
I asked my mom if she was sure they were hooked together. Once again she thought I was stupid and got offended that apparently I thought she was stupid being that she used to breed and show dobermans, but it just made no sense to me.
My mom said that maybe he raped her For one thing, Joe is so passive, he wont even eat his food until the other dogs are done eating. And another thing, when she was in heat last time, I didnt have to worry about them breeding because she wouldnt let him.
I would be happy if they did indeed breed, since I planned on it anyway, but I didnt plan on it right now, and I am very confused as to how this could have happened.
