Take her to the vet. They can do a quick X-ray and find out for sure.

Dogs usually start "showing" when they're about 40 days into their 60+ day pregnancy. The nipples will elongate and may "pink up", the belly will swell, and vulva may swell, the dog may have the doggie-version of morning sickness (vomit occasionally), the dog may go off its food (as the pups start to crowd its belly), and the dog may exhibit nesting behavior (scratching and bunching up blankets or newspapers to make a nest for itself).
If you're unsure if your dog is pregnant, take it to your vet and ask for an xray or sonagram. He'll be able to see if there are any developing pups, how many there are, and how far along they are.

Dogs don't have periods. You cannot use an ept test on them.
You can't x-ray until 45 days.
You will have to watch for signs. The vulva remains swollen, belly starts to expand, nipples get bigger, she will be more loving and clingy.
After day 45 you can get an x ray to confirm. The best thing to do is be patient. The pregnancy will last 9 weeks and by 5 ot 6 you can usually tell by looking at her.
Good luck!

first off:
1) has she been acting strange, if so how long?
2) if u get near her, will she growl or anything of the sort?
second of all:
definitly take her to a vet and tell them that you want to know if your dog is pregnant or not. have them do an X-Ray or ultra sound to tell.

The vet. They can:
palpate
blood test
ultrasound
x-ray
All of these can be done at certain times in the pregnancy, so see the vet with the history and they can tell you what methods they can use.

A blood test at the doctor's office is the only definite way to find that out.

Until she is very far along, only a visit to the vet can tell you for sure. Was this planned?

take her to the vet. Peeing on an hpt won't work as dogs dont produce hcg(HUMAN chorionic something or other)

well, you could either take her to the vet or wait to see if she does not go into heat at her "time of the month"...if you think she is pregnant because she has skipped her period, take her to the vet for a check-up.
