Yes....it's a very GOOD thing to do, actually. Not only CAN you, you SHOULD. :-)
Just go slow and take frequent breaks. Bring some water for her to drink. Don't walk in the heat or extreme cold.
As she gets 'close' to her due date, it can actually help stimulate labor to get started on time, and easier....just like with women.

yes, by all means. You see pregnant women excercise, why wouldn't a dog need to? Just keep her pace and if she's having problems just let her go in the yard.

Sorry, I had to laugh when I read this. Unless your vet says not to, the dog needs some exercise too. She's pregnant - not dying.

Of course you can, my Bichon begged for her nightly walks up until the night of giving birth. Just go slow & make the walks abit shorter every time, she'll love you for it :)

Yes, in fact you should walk them, they will be in better condition, more muscular and will make delivery easier.
