Pregnant dog
Wow, what a lot of negativity for one post. I agree to some degree about spaying, certainly if you have no plans to breed your dogs, definatly if they are mixes. However; I was in a similar situation a few years ago, and believe me, it happens to everone at some point, even the best breeders. My husband and I breed 2 different breeds of dog, and a couple years ago our female of one breed had an "oops" with our male of the other. Because it was early in her cycle, we hoped that there were not going to be puppies, but 4 weeks later the vet confirmed my fears, and 4 weeks after that we had 8 puppies. We managed to sell all of the pups, they went to wonderful homes and turned out to be great dogs (my sister has one). The female that had this "accident" is now titled, has her health clearances, (eye, hip, thyroid) and is a great example of her breed, which is why we are currently using her for breeding. The father of this litter had multiple titles and was also a great dog, he is no longer with us.
As for Kawasaki6, no one has answered your questions, so I hope I can help. First how many days into her cycle was she? Did they actually tie? (become "stuck" together). You will not really be able to tell based on discharge, some stop all together once they have been bred, others continue as usual. Unfortunately there is no quick way to tell if she is pregnant, if you do not want to spay her (for future breeding) the best solution would be to wait. A vet should be able to tell in 4 weeks if there are puppies or not. There is a drug that you can give her, but I dont recommend it, it can cause future problems. I do suggest having her spayed if you do not plan to breed her, and like the others said, she should be a great example of her breed to do that.
Good luck, I wish you all the best, keep me posted.
