Hello, based on your description, the dog probably has not mated successfully, so the chance of pregnancy is low. Dog mating generally lasts about 15 to 20 minutes. If the dogs mate successfully, they usually lock together for a period during which they cannot be separated.

If the dog was pulled away right after being mounted, it generally will not become pregnant. If the female dog is in heat and you do not plan to let her get pregnant, it is recommended to put a dog diaper on her.
