No you just have to wait and see. They can do a blood test but its expensive or they can do a ultra sound scan. But its best just to wait. Its hard because my ***** had pups 4 weeks ago and when she was pregnant she didnt show for ages and i was getting impatient. But if when they breed if they locked id say she is pregnant.
The vet can feel as well up to about 3 weeks.

Around 4 weeks after breeding, you should be able to palpate her stomach and feel pups. They will feel like round hard balls at this time. You can also get a blood pregnancy test done at the vet at this time. Then you can x-ray her around 8 weeks in to see if there are any pups. Any sooner and you might not see any bone formation. Otherwise, wait until 63 days (9weeks) and see.

About 63 days after breeding she will have puppies..No, there are no over the counter tests, etc..And there are about as many false pregnancies as real ones, so you can't go by swollen breats, or such..a vet can't really tell unti she is 30 days along..so it is just a game of patience.
However, if you measure her girth ( at last rib) at the time of breeding, and measure it agian in 21 days, you can tell that way..

When my Shi Tzu was pregnant, a friend just felt and pushed the lower end of her stomach and it felt really hard and not soft, and she ended up having puppies like 2 weeks after that.

Consult a Vet

time. and time.
if her nipples start to swell, she's pregnant.
the only other way is to take her to a vet. they do a vaginal swab i think.
it depends if you want her to have pups. if not, i suggest you have her spayed asap. its a very traumantizing experience for her, as the males will basically 'rape' her, even if she's not ready for them to cover her yet, and they will fight, resulting in injuries. also if the male is much bigger than her, she might experience difficulties with birthing the pups, and cause great vet's bills. she could even die. also gestating and rearing pups takes a toll on her health, as she has to grow them and then provide milk.
so, prevention is better than cure.

1) Wait till it gets fat... then its pregnet.
2) If you think its obise wait a few mounths and see if puppys pop out.
3) Take it to the PDSA which do check ups for free (just say you are poor).
