She is too young and you shouldn't have allowed it to happen. Having said that, she can probably have the puppies, but I would be consulting a vet and following his/her advice. Think of it as a 10 year old girl having a baby!

The dog should be sexually mature by now, so...I think she'll probably do fine. Take her to the vet to make sure of course. She'll probably have somewhere around six puppies, that's average for Siberian Huskies. EDIT: Since this answer is causing me so much grief over things I HAVEN'T SAID, in addition: The dog isn't old enough to be safely "bred," but dogs DO get pregnant and are ABLE to have puppies at this age. It's just a lot more difficult and risky for the dog to do so. You have to make sure to keep in contact with the vet, and probably should take her there when she gives birth. People who breed wait at least until they reach 24 months and are able to do genetic testing to make sure the pups will be healthy, and choose a mate accordingly. The dog's body is fully mature at that point, unlike yours. But many dogs DO get pregnant accidentally if not kept an eye on when they're in season, but you CAN have a successful birth, despite the complications that MIGHT occur. There's really no way to tell 100%, but it's POSSIBLE to have them. Usually dogs instincts take over during birth and caring for them, but that's not a given, especially that young. You should talk to your vet about it.

I agree with Doggy Dog about 100+% Sorry Icebox April...just because a Bitch can become pregnant (as young as 6 months) is not a good, healthy or reasonable excuse to allow or set up a breeding at age 8 months or a year. Most dogs are not fully MATURE until about 15 months to two YEARS of age. THIS is why RESPONSIBLE BREEDERS WAIT IT OUT and use the time to begin SHOWING their potential breeding stock, to earn their points and titles. ONE) the animal is allowed to fully mature. TWO) by earning those points and titles the owner proves that the specific dog or bitch SHOULD BE considered a positive breeder, that will ideally IMPROVE the breed. THREE) both a dog and a bitch that has earned their titles attracts a better quality partner...the owners of the other half are more likely to be interested in breeding their titled dog to yours so that together you produce puppies that are hopefully of an even better quality (in health, conformation, temperament and breed specific characteristics than the parents of the pups. This bitch may carry and successfully give birth. However, she IS too young to be doing this and it maybe better for the owner to consult with the Vet and consider aborting the puppies if it is not too late. This mess is not optimum in any way, it is just sad. http://www.dogplay.com/Breeding/breeding_age.html Breeding age What age can I stud out my dog? When can I breed my bitch? If you are looking for the answer to these questions you must have some concerns about the welfare of the dogs. If you didn't then you'd just keep tossing two dogs together until it worked. So the answer is, at minimum the dogs should be two years old before breeding. Why two? First, because sexual maturity comes earlier than full physical maturity. Just because they can, doesn't mean they should. You want to give the dogs a chance to "grow up." Also because you want to do at least something to make improve the chances that the puppies will be reasonably healthy. You can't complete the most basic of breeding related health screening until the dogs are physically mature - usually around 24 months, sometimes later, sometimes earlier, but 24 months is the "standard" for responsible breeders. What is "breeding related health screening"? Breeding related health screening are steps a person takes to look for health problems that might not be affecting the particular dog, but might affect other dogs if a mating takes place. That would include sexually transmitted diseases, diseases that might be passed to the puppies congenitally, and problems that would be caused by genetics. Some people think perhaps I'm lying when I say that an ordinary vet check is not enough to see if your dog is healthy enough for breeding. Well, I suppose it all depends on how much you care about the puppies you will be creating. Veterinarians go through a lot of intense schooling. They work hard and they learn a lot. But they don't learn everything that is important to every client. So unless that individual veterinarian took a special interest in canine breeding and reproduction they will not have spent much time learning about the art of producing healthy puppies. They will know a lot about whether the particular dog standing in front of them is currently experiencing a serious problem. But that doesn't mean they will automatically know what to look for and how to look for it when considering breeding two dogs. So the goal is to first learn what you need to look for - which sexual transmitted diseases, and whether there are signs either in the dogs, or in their background, that show risks for congenital or genetic problems that will appear in the puppies. How much effort you need to put into it depends upon how important it is to you that you produce dogs that can live a long and full life. If you have never experienced a dog that died young, or a dog that was crippled by genetic problems, then it might not feel as important to you. http://www.akc.org/breeders/resp_breeding/steps_8.cfm The age at which dogs reach sexual maturity depends to a large extent on their breed. Small breeds tend to mature faster than large breeds. On average, however, males become fertile after six months of age and reach full sexual maturity by 12 to 15 months. Healthy stud dogs may remain sexually active and fertile to old age. Adult males are able to mate at any time. Bitches have their first estrus (also know as season or heat) after six months of age, although it can occur as late as 18 months to two years of age. Estrus recurs at intervals of approximately six months until late in life. During estrus, the female is fertile and will accept a male. Keep in mind that AKC Rules do not allow, except with special documentation, the registration of a litter out of a dam under 8 months or over 12 years of age at the time of mating, or by a sire under 7 months or over 12 years of age at the time of mating. Although THIS is specifically from the Boxer breeders, it is a good way of thinking for ANY BREED OF DOG... First of all, why do you want to breed at all? What is your long-term purpose for starting a breeding program? Or are you planning on just breeding one time, to supply the market, to keep a puppy to show, to let your girl experience motherhood, to let your kids see the miracle of birth? What are your specific goals for this litter? What do you need to improve upon in your bitch? Why do you want to breed this dog to this bitch? What are his strengths that offset the bitch's weaknesses, and does he have a family history of passing on those strengths? Are his weaknesses the same as hers? What are his siblings producing, and do they produce the traits you want to see in your puppies when bred to bitches similar to yours? Have you looked at other studs as well, or have you chosen this one primarily for convenience? Have the dog and bitch both been fully health tested? This means hip x-rays for dysplasia (PennHip, or OFA after 2 years of age), auscultation by a board-certified veterinary cardiologist after 24 months of age (and Doppler echocardiogram if so indicated - however the American Boxer Club recommends Doppler for all breeding prospects), at least one 24-hour Holter monitor performed after 12 months of age and then repeated yearly, blood test for thyroid function sent to one of the eight OFA-approved labs after 1 year of age, repeated yearly until age 4 then every other year, a DNA test for degenerative myelopathy, and a blood test for brucellosis before every breeding. CERF eye tests and blood test for vWD may also be performed depending on lines. http://www.newcastleboxers.com/wannabreed.shtml There are easily over one thousand dogs and puppies KILLED each week in the USA, because there are not enough people who want them...Pure bred and mutts alike are killed. Every single litter born of any breed or type helps to contribute to the number of KILLED PUPPIES AND DOGS...even if YOUR litter has all been spoken for...they DISPLACE the chance of adoptions for already living animals. Especially, because this is such a young bitch, I would strongly urge you to speak to your VET and see if there is any other solution than to carry though with it.
