yes dogs can get pregnant at 6 months but your vet will tell you that this is wronge for you to let this happen as it can harm your dog at such a young age and can also harm her puppies they can have defects or other problems that somtimes happen later on in there lives.its not healthy for your dog to get pregnant so young so if they have not been spayed you should keep a closer eye one them.most vets will tell you to wait untill your dam is on her third heat to mate her but some say second time she is in season is fine if her first season started late as some dams do not start there cicle till nine months.your dog is still classed as a puppy untill its 18 months old so you should bare this in mind or talk to your vet befor going ahead to plan puppies however adorable they may be.not saying dont have them but think of the best time for your dog and take the time to get to know her befor breeding it will help the both of you in the long run to now you have a better understanding and trust as when you dam has her pups she may change her behavior and will be protective of her babies so the better she trusts the more likley she will let you help her with her young ones.sometimes its hard to keep an eye on your dogs at all times and mistakes can be made but if you notice her cicle starting them just keep a closer eye on your dam...hope this helps

if you think this is already the case then you need to get her looked at as soon as posible so your vet can scan her and try to give you an idea as to how far gone she is if pregnant and what diets and exersize to give her during the diferant stages of pregnancy.puppy kibble is good for her and boiled egg,if she is a small dog then only half a boiled egg a day.while calcium rich foods are good for her too you will need to stop all these foods ten days befor labour as her body will need to go into store calcium mode itself but you can treat her to a little cottage cheese or goats milk juring labour to help her contractions but not to much as you dont want to put her gland to sleep.you may notice nesting behavior in the last two weeks of pregnance too but bare in mind she could have pups a week early so be ready.have your vets number at hand and your car fueled up incase you need an emergencey c section.dont let her out of your site in the last few weeks eiver as some dogs will try to run off and have there puppies alone.if you have never delivered then speak to your vet or your mobile vet as things can always go wronge and some dogs dont open the puppy sack in time so they can suffercate....take care
