If your female dog is well developed and the male dog was not much bigger than her, then there should not be a much bigger risk. If you do not want puppies and do not intend to breed her later on you may want to discuss having her spayed by your veterinarian. Your veterinarian can also terminate the pregnancy with certain medications, if you insist. However, that may present a risk for uterine infection. You can have her pregnancy checked by your veterinarian making sure she is indeed pregnant and then plan with your vet whether she needs to be monitored and whether complications will be expected.
