Your question is kind of choppy but what I think your asking is this "a two year old mixed breed dog got pregnant and then died so you want to know if someone made her get pregnant". If so, it is possible someone put her together with an intact male dog to make babies. If you are asking if she wanted to be pregnant the answer is probably yes. Intact animals are looking to breed. That is science and evolution- the goal is to have your genes carried on. No one would have to lock her up for that, she can seek that out on her own. I hope this helps answer your question and I'm sorry about Babby.
