My young dog is pregnant. Is she too young to give birth alone?

Question

I have a 1year old lab which is 7 year old for them and I believe she is pregnant I was wonder if it's bad because she is still young ? Also I go to school and I'm scared because she can have the puppies any time do I have to be with her or she can give birth on her own ? I also think she is because her part got bigger and her breast got and also her tummy. Pet's info: Dog | Labrador Retriever | Female | unspayed | 1 year and 5 months old | 30 lbs

It is recommended to wait until a dog has her second heat before breeding her, but Ash can still give birth safely. Typically dogs do fine on their own when giving birth, but it would be good for you to be around when it happens just in case she needs help giving birth and needs an immediate trip to the vet. Best of luck.
