hi,after keeping my 9 month old dog paddy apart from my bitch megan whilst she was in season my 3yr old daughter let them both on the yard together and lets just say when i caught them they were in the swing of things

.this was a week and a half ago and today paddy went for the snip,hes feeling very sorry for himself now,bless!! the vet said megan should be fine IF she is pregnant despite her age but we would have to keep a close eye on her. Ive never bred dogs and wasnt planning to! can anyone tell me how long they are pregnant for and what can i expect??

normal pregnancy time is 63 days from the first breeding, but this is just a guesstimate time. It all depends on when the breeding took place and when the eggs were dropped. My Gracie carried till the 64th day on both breedings.

It is still not too late to take your dog in to the vet and get a shot. The shot will terminate the pregnancy. 8 months is still very young and I'm guessing this was her first heat, also.

Best of luck to you and welcome to YT!
