I have a female shi tzu and a male yorkie. over the past week the have been stuck together over a dozen times. im almost sure my female is not in heat. I just wanted to know could she still be pregnant although she's not in heat?

There is what the call silent heat. Where the female is bred before she shows signs of being in heat. Your dog is bred. Remember this 7 days coming in, 7 days in heat, 7 days going out. 21 days of heat cycle. With Mother Nature nothing is for sure so your dog was in between the 7 coming in and 7 days in and he got her.

She could very well be pregnant, you should not let them tie anymore, her eggs can be fertilized during different times. This can lead to her going into labor and some of the puppies not being ready to be born yet, resulting in lost puppies.
