There are a lot of risks to breeding dogs. Most people do a lot of research before breeding. Your female is very small. It is not recommended to breed females under 5 lbs. A large 1 year old female would have a better chance of delivering safely than a female like yours that is under 5 lbs. Since the deed is already done you have two choices, either have your female spayed now or wait to see if she is pregnant. If you decide to wait to see if she is pregnant then you need to start reading up on whelping and rearing pups. The risk to the female is that she could not deliver naturally and require a c-section or she could rupture her uterus. Either one of those scenarios could be life threatening for her and the pups. I pray that what ever happens that the momma does well.
