No, your dog is not pregnant if he gets stuck together. The sticking together, known as a 'tie,' is a natural part of the canine mating process. It doesn't guarantee pregnancy. Pregnancy occurs only if the female dog is ovulating and the male dog's sperm successfully fertilizes the eggs. Consider consulting a veterinarian for a definitive pregnancy test if there are concerns.
