Well, my dog Pants (thats her name) has been pregnant for six weeks now, her stomach is larger than usual, but I cant feel any heartbeats or movements of the puppies. Should I be concerned. By the way she is a ShiTzu.

When my dog was pregnant, I didn't feel puppies either. She was bigger though (Lab) I'm not sure if it's easier to feel if it's a smaller breed. Why don't you ask the stud dogs breeder???

You may not feel movement at this time and as far as I know you won't feel heartbeats. She is still roughly two weeks away from her due date. In about a week to a week and a half, you may want to have an x-ray taken to see how many puppies are in there so you know how many to expect when she goes into labor. Make sure she's eating lots of good quality puppy food until she is through nursing. Also, make sure your vet knows when she is due in case there is an emergency and you have to bring her in for help.

Clearly, you should not be breeding because you are clueless. How the heck do you think you can feel heartbeats on puppies through the mohters abdominal wall????????
Maybe you should take her to a vet. They should have a check up before whelping. I guess that would cut into the puppy profits!!!

no need to be concerned. It's like ur putting ur hand on a human tummy u can't feel a heart beat but babies move. but in dogs they dont move and u dont feel no heart beat. it's weird but that's know it is. if u really wanna now if they are alive and ok. Take her to the vet and they'll do tell me everything u need to know. and also she's little so it will be really hard to feel a puppy

Give it another week or so and then contact a veterinarian if you still can't. Puppies grow A LOT in the last two weeks, so they're probably not large enough that you would notice now.

take her to the vet to get an ultrasound. She might be going through a false pregnancy. i work at a kennel and one of the rotts that we bred ended up going through a false pregnancy and she got big and produced milk and everything

No it is normal not to feel anything at 6 weeks. A couple more weeks you should be able to feel them moving.

NOT YET, SHE STILL HAS 3 WEEKS TO GO . IN ANOTHER 10 DAYS OR SO YOU SHOULD SEE MOVEMENT WHEN SHE LAYS ON HER SIDE. RELAX... SHE IS FINE.

I don't Know, but you can take her to the vet and get a ultra sound.(that's what we did with my chihuahua)
