Hi, thanks for using Petco Pet Education Center, formerly Petcoach! It is possible for a female dog that is in heat to get pregnant even if they didn't tie. It all depends on whether the male dog ejaculated or not. You can run a pregnancy test and/or an ultrasound at 28 days or have an X-ray done at day 50. Write down the date when they mated. Dogs are pregnant for 60-63 days. I hope this helps!

A tie is not always needed for a successful mating. If the male "delivered", then there is a chance Beemar will become pregnant. To find out, have her examined in about 4 weeks. The veterinarian should be able to confirm pregnancy by palpation, blood test or abdominal ultrasound.

This depends on whether she and the male are both healthy and fertile, as well as where she was in her heat cycle when the ties occurred - breeding is actually a fairly complicated science, and there are never any guarantees :) But assuming that both dogs are reproductively healthy and she was ovulating when the matings occurred, it's quite likely that she will become pregnant.

There is a chance Zina could be pregnant, as it can take only one mating to get a dog pregnant. I would wait at least three weeks after they tied before taking her into the vet for blood tests to confirm if she is pregnant or not.
