Can my dog get pg her first heat?

I researched dogs heat cycles and it explained the first three cycles, but it was like she can't get pg until the third cycle of her heat, and is that her third heat or is there three cycles to a single heat period? Help! I feel so stupid @ age 53.

Update:

She is A Shih Tzu and the day she first went into heat she was 8 mo. We also have a male Pekingese 4 yrs. we tried finding a female Pek. with no luck, but found her with the same coloring as him, we want to have one liter, then have them both fiixed. He dont seem too interested except sniffing where she pees, now shes been in heat for almost 2 wks and I notice he tried mounting her today, I have a diaper like for just this that I put on her when I need to.

    They are in heat for approx 21 days.. Starting between 6 and 9 months and will come into heat every 6 months after that.. She can ( SHOULD NOT ) get pregnant even on her first heat.. She should be spayed.. If you bought a quality purebred and have a mentor or a breeder willing to work with her, and you bought her to breed. Do not breed her til she is at least 2 and has had health testing done and is found to be a good representation of the breed.

    Your dogs heat cycle has 3 stages each lasting 7-9 days. The first stage is swelling with spotting, then in the second stage there is lots of bleeding and the swelling ismore noticable. The last stage is when she is fertile and she will not accept the male before this time. She will be really swollen and hold her tail up and curve it to the side forthe male to enter. Her first heat should be at 6-8 months. She can get pregnant during this heat and if you choose to mate her the pregnance will be a bit more difficult because of her age. The second heat should come 6-8 months later and she is fine to mate on this and any future heats. Don't feel stupid, the process of your dog mating and having puppies is a wonderful experience.

    there is three stages to a cycle but they don't get pregnant at the third stage but the second stage.

    Stages are

    1) coming into

    2) te of good breeding

    3) going out of

    A heat cycle last 21 days.

    It's most advisable to not let a dog get preg. until 2 years old and at this time it's the 3-4 cycle.

    I don't know where you got that info, but it is so wrong!

    She can get pregnant her first heat.

    Have her altered as soon as the vet says she is old enough.

    The info you read makes more sense if you also have practical experience.

    It should have told you to break the one heat/cycle into three parts.

    The cycle usually last 21 days.

    The first week, she comes in heat and there's not much going on.

    The second week, her hormones get going pretty good, so that boy dogs can smell her estrus/cycle, and they start calling.

    The third week, she's ready to party and takes suitors.

    If there is a good mating, she delivers pups 63 days later.

    This is really simplified, but understandable more than what you read, huh?

    dog pg heat

    she can get pregnant at her first heat cycle, yes.

    However, she should not be allowed to get pregnant at her first heat cycle.. she is still growing and developing.. it would be like a 12-14 year old girl getting pregnant.

    No dog should be bred until at least 2 years of age, and only after its earned CH title and passed all genetic health tests. Otherwise spay and neuter to prevent adding to the over population problem.

    YES she can get pregnant during this heat cycle. It is a cycle and she is most susceptible in the middle of it, it lasts different but up to about 21 days she is in danger. Call a shelter or vet and check to get her spayed as this will help her chances of not getting certain cancers and so forth. good luck..be careful! A pregnancy now will be very dangerous as she is so so young.
