Well, if that is the case you may want to ask yourself about if you want to deal with a litter of "in-bred" puppies, that can potentially have a ton of health issues. If she was exposed to a different breed male, a larger one , her life could be at risk .
Have you thought about having an emergency spay done?
I never had this and i am not sure how i would react my self if facing such situation, but it is a choice available for you , if you make a decision soon.
If she turns out to be pregnant , you also risk the need to have an emergency c-section to be performed if labor does not go natural, and because of her young age and the lack of background knowledge on her, it is a real possibility. C-sections, when planned ahead are already expensive, emergency ones can be VERY expensive ... can go into thousands of dollars, financial stress and emotional stress is involved.
You are in a tight spot .
Hopefully this info was of some help for you .

I am suppose to get their
[COLOR=green ! important][COLOR=green ! important]medical [COLOR=green ! important]records[/COLOR][/COLOR][/COLOR] from them. I am going to ask for the vet name info etc so if they do not supply with records I can just call myself. On the other hand, I do know enough that it would end up being her brother whom would be the potential father, they only had the mother living with them and the 2 that i have now which were the pups. I have heard many things with inbreeding but do not know much about it but I guess it would be time to do my research. I am ready to take on any challenge that god forbid may turn out wrong if she were to be indeed pregnant. I do not have the heart or will power to turn her away for something that was not her fault. It was irresponsibility on the previous owners part which i do agree 100% for them not paying closer attention. thank you for your input as it has put me to want to research more on inbreeding just to be safe. I just cannot turn my back on these lil guys now it just would not be right. Are you familiar with the potential health risks/concerns with inbreeding? anything would be helpful. Also, When you feel her belly, more towards the vulva in between her 2 teats there, please forgive me if i explain this wrong as I do not have dog pregnancy knowledge, but in that area those 2 teats seem a tad bit saggy like..you can grasp it in between your fingers but does not look at all like she was already bred i know that much. I just do not know the right way to explain it. I will try to post pictures soon so all can see and let me know what they think thank you so much for your input as it all is helpful and more is always welcomed.
