My dog in heat got out. Is she pregnant? Can I still breed her?

Pet's info: Dog | Rottweiler | Female | unspayed | 3 years and 3 months old | 58 lbs

My 3 year old pittweiller is in her 7th day of heat... she got lose for about 10 minutes earlier and I'm wondering if she happened to have mated with a dog during that time, if it is likely she could get pregnant. I want to breed her with another pittweiller after her 10th day so I hope I havent ruined her chances. She got off the porch this morning

It is always possible she got pregnant. If you don't want her to have this litter you can go to your vet and ask for a mismating shot and then you can breed her on her next cycle. ( https://www.webvets.com/admin/uploads/mismate-accidental-breeding.pdf )
