The next logical question is, "How can you tell if your dog is in the family way?" Confirming pregnancy necessitates a trip to the veterinary office. The earliest method of pregnancy detection is ultrasound—a nice test because it is noninvasive and very reliable. Fetal heartbeats can be detected at around the 25th day from first breeding. This is not, however, considered a reliable way to determine fetal number.
One interesting fact about the canine reproductive cycle is that the dog goes through roughly the same hormonal changes whether or not she is pregnant. For this reason, there is no progesterone blood or urine test to diagnose pregnancy in dogs. There is, however, a blood test that will detect relaxin, a hormone that is produced in pregnant dogs but is not found in non-pregnant dogs. This test may be performed mid gestation, which occurs at around the same time that your veterinarian can palpate the fetuses.
Most experienced veterinarians can determine pregnancy by simply feeling the dog’s abdomen during a certain a window of time—about 20-30 days after conception. During this time period, there is uterine swelling around the placental sites that feels like firm and discrete lumps. After 30 days, the uterine swelling is more diffuse and it is difficult to distinguish the gravid uterus from the feel of the intestinal tract. Dogs that are very large or obese may be difficult to examine in any stage, however.
A third way to detect pregnancy is by taking x-rays. Fetal skeletons can be visualized at about 45 days of pregnancy. This test cannot be done until late in gestation, but it is nice to know about how many of the little creatures you can expect once the actual birthing occurs.
about 3 weeks my dog started showing.

There are a few real keys to dog training, whether you are trying to train your dog to come when called, sit, stop barking or any other behavior. Understanding their importance is critical to achieving rapid results that are long lasting and help develop the bond between you and your dog. Read more here https://bitly.im/g1zyh
The first is simple; you must win your dogs mind. If you don’t achieve this first then you will be struggling the all the way. When I talk about winning your dogs mind what I really mean is that your dog looks to you for all the decisions. Before you do anything else watch one of the amazing video sites that show you the 5 Golden rules to establishing yourself as the pack leader. If you aren’t putting these in place then you are setting yourself up to fail. Just at the crucial point where you really want your dog to listen they will go and do their own thing. For sure your dog may play ball occasionally or even most of the time, you may even have a dog that is obedient 99% of the time, however if you want a dog who always listens to you and does as you ask then you need to win your dogs mind.
The second key to success is to motivate your dog. It is really important that you discover what it is that your dog enjoys both in terms of exercise and play but also in terms of a reward. If you can make the experience enjoyable then you will both achieve more and look forward to training.
Some dogs love to fetch, others love agility, and other dogs simply love obedience training, or swimming out into water and retrieve. At least to start with find out what your dogs love is and help them develop this, what I am saying is work with your dog. The other point to recognize is to make training enjoyable reward your dog.

Gestation will be about 65 days give or take. She should start plumping up around day 30, depends on how big she is now and what breed. Start feeding puppy chow or some kind of dry puppy food , this will help her coat among other things health wise, continue it as long as shes nursing, most likely for 6 weeks. The pups will take a lot out of her and the extra vitamins and nutrients will help.

Your pets due date will be on 12/23/06 providing she conceived on the first breeding of the 21st. Oct.A dog carrys pups for 56 to 63 days from time of breeding and you probably can't tell she is pregnant until in her 6th week of pregnancy.At that time try placing your hand underneath her stomach area near the back legs and you should be able to feel little hard balls about the size of a tennis ball if she is pregnant.There is also a test for such at any Vet clinic if you wish to know sooner.

Day 45...go and have an x-ray to confirm pregnancy.
Or go now and have the vet try and palpate the puppies, or do the blood test. Only ways to be sure. They can "show" with a false pregnancy too.
And for "Pepsie Paws"...It is Lhasa Apso.....learn to spell better and spell BREEDS before trying to convince us you are a handler.

I'm doing basic obedience right now. My trainer hasn't once handled my dog. He has shown me how to handle my dog by using his own dog but that's about it. The reasoning is that I need to learn how to do these basic corrections and what not myself. Learn more https://tinyurl.im/K1U1i
I have never considered sending my dog away for training. I guess I haven't found that much of a problem with him to even think about it.
Again, it may also have to do with the level of training you are looking for etc. No idea lol. I'm not a trainer. I think a first time dog owner needs to learn simple commands and how to handle their dog themselves as well.

Easy answer to that question; The other dog would be the one that caused the fight, if there had been one. The owner of the dog should have her dog on a leash at all times unless he is in a confined area of the owners yard or home. Even with that it is the responsibility of the owners to restrain their dog so that no incidents happen to other dogs or people. Being that your dog was on a leash "I assume" then it would be the fault of the unleashed animal.
