A dog can't get pregnant ever as 'dog' refers to the male. A bitch, being a female mammal, can get pregnant through most of her cycle but has dates when the chances are higher and is least likely to fall pregnant nearest her period (when the old egg cells are expelled by the body) at both the start and end of the cycle.
They are fertile when they are in standing heat. This often happen during the last week of the heat cycle. The amount of time can be be from three to five days.
If the dog mated successfully during her heat then, yes, she may become pregnant. During her heat is the only time a female can become pregnant.

Yes, any other time she can not get pregnant. I have never before heard of dogs getting pregnant while they were not in heat.
No if your dog is pregnant and appears to be in heat take her to the vet right away as she has most likely had a miscarriage
Dogs get the heat twice a year.
Generally no, the dogs heat cycle only lasts 6 - 9 days
female dogs can get pregnant as soon as they start going into heat. You may notice small spots of blood on the floor, in the snow etc. That is from your dog having her period, from this point on she can become pregnant. I personally have had a dog that got pregnant at 7 months had her litter and got pregnant right after.
Yes - get her spayed. Keeping her in the house, away from other dogs will not stop her from coming into heat but it will prevent her from getting pregnant.
As a rule, Dogs come in 'HEAT' twice a year. They generally can have puppies after they are 1 year old, and every year after that. One litter a year usually. It is recommended that dogs don't get pregnant the first time they come in Heat.
Maybe in the summer or around January. This is when female dogs go into "Heat". This means that they are ready to breed.
Dogs go into "heat" every 6-12 months (depending on the dog). Their heat cycles generally last 3 weeks. This is the time when dogs can become pregnant, so be sure to monitor your female
No. Only when the female is in season or "heat". She may allow a male dog she knows well to mount her at other times, but will walk away or growll after a few seconds if the male doesn't get the hint.
A dog must be in heat to get pregnant. Heat is basically her ovulation cycle.
A dog usually goes into heat at 6 months old and although NT recommended at that age, they are able to get pregnant and have pups
