allow her and the male to interact? I believe she got pregnant 3 - 5 weeks ago. I didn't know she was even in Heat until they were stuck together, and it was NOT planned. Then when the dogs found away to get together about a week later, they got "tied" together again. I have been keeping them apart for the past month in fear that they will "tie" again. I thought I had read on here, or on a website that you are not supposed to try and breed past 3 days, because if the female gets pregnant on day one, and then you breed her again 3 days later, that she can get pregnant with another puppy, and there would be a better chance of that puppy not surviving because it will not be in the Mother as long as the puppies that were conceived 3 days earlier. Is that true??? I just called the Vet to see if I could now allow the Male and Female to interact and the nurse said "yes". I questioned as to whether the female could still conceive more puppies, and she said "no, once she is pregnant, she is pregnant."

I know based on the time period. She is probably no longer in Heat, but when I thought she was no longer in Heat the last time (a couple of weeks ago) they ended up "tied" together again. Any suggestions or information would be greatly appreciated.

Thanks,
