Pet's info: Dog | Shih Tzu | Female | unspayed | 8 months and 21 days old | 10 lbs
My young female Shih tzu had an accidental mating (tie) 2 days ago. Since then, she still shows interest in male dogs. Do I assume from this behavior, that the mating was unsuccessful? If she were in very early pregnancy, wouldn't she be rejecting males?
