Please don't take this as "bashing" or whatever... but for the future... you say your dogs get sad when separated, which I understand, but what are you going to do each time she goes in heat? You can't have 3, 4, 5+ litters just because your dogs get upset. Something has to be done. I recommend that AFTER she has this litter, if she's pregnant, that she get spayed, or the male get neutered, or both. Have these dogs even been tested for genetic disorders/diseases since you were thinking of breeding?
If she is pregnant, please find a mentor in the area for emergencies and get all necessary supplies. I would also probably find a way to separate dad and mom after the pups are born because you don't know how either of them are going to react and you don't want the pups or anyone to get hurt/killed.
Also, one more thought to ponder... you said there is only one vet within four hours... what are you going to do if there are major complications and your baby needs a c-section. The mother and/or pups could very easily die and especially because she is so young.
Please just think about this. I'm in no way bashing or telling you want to do... I'm just concerned for the safety of your girl and the potential babies. Good luck and keep us updated!
