Hey everyone... yet again I need some advice.
I know this sounds crazy, but my wife and I (to a lesser degree) are a bit concerned that our 10 month old female yorkie may have gotten pregnant by a basset hound. We have a 6 year old male basset hound, and I didnt think it was possible for him to mate with our yorkie because of the huge size difference. He never really showed much interest and we never saw them try to "connect" but after our yorkie's first heat we noticed that her nipples seemed to be getting quite big. She looks like she may have gained a little weight, but her belly really isnt bulging too much and she is still very active. But it still worries us that her nipples seem to be getting bigger and bigger.

Sorry if this sounds stupid, but this is our first female dog and I'm not sure what to look for. The basset hound is the only male dog shes been around. Maybe we are just being paranoid... what do you guys think?
