Hi Can you help me... Will my Jack Russell give birth to a mix of Jack Russel and Border Collie... Will she survive it??? Pet's info: Dog | Mixed Breed | Female | unspayed | 3 years and 2 months old

The problem with a female mating with a larger male is that the puppies will be larger in size. This can cause difficulties with Trixi giving birth, and she may need help from the vet to have it done. I would start preparing for the possibility for her needing a c section to give birth safely, and I would start saving money for it. I would speak to your vet about how much they charge for a c section, and your vet can let you know when they want you to bring her in in case of problems giving birth.
