The problem with a female dog having puppies from a much larger male is that the puppies themselves will be big, leading to difficulties giving birth. Small toy breeds are already prone to birthing difficulties, and having larger than normal puppies increases this risk. That's not to say Ski can't have them and survive, but you need to be prepared financially that she may need a c section. I would start saving money now for it. First though, I'd recommend having her seen by a vet to confirm if she is pregnant or not. Give your vet a call in the morning to make an appointment for her. Best of luck.
