It's not recommended to mate a dog on their first heat because they aren't physically and emotionally mature, but they can be fine giving birth. Because a male border collie is around Morti's weight, it's fine she was impregnated by one. If you don't want any further puppies, I recommend spaying her after her puppies have weaned. Best of luck.

I cannot tell you if she is pregnant but after about 4 weeks you can have an ultrasound done by your vet in order to confirm or rule out pregnancy (this is the soonest a pregnancy can be detected in dogs). regarding surviving the pregnancy, i don't see why not, if she is healthy otherwise she should be absolutely fine.
