It's very hard to say what Nagai's puppies will look like since an azkal is a mongrel and they all look differently. You will honestly only know what the puppies will look like when they are born. The only concern I have about the mating is if the azkal was much bigger than Nagai. Female dogs should not be mated with male dogs much bigger than they are, because that leads to larger puppies and more difficulty giving birth. I would be prepared that if she starts to show any problems giving birth, she will need to see a vet immediately as she may need a c section. I will put a link to a website that details out things you need to look out for and when to see veterinary care. I hope this helps! http://www.2ndchance.info/caninelaborstages.htm
