The vet can tell you, and if she isn't then you need to get her spayed

Sometimes you can't really tell. but what I think is, if you see your dog geting all snarly and or grumpy and all whining, then that means they are pregnant.
Here, I got this off from a site. I typed in, 'How can you tell if a dog is pregant?' from google.
She will get bigger around 4-5 weeks if she is a small dog or 5-8 weeks along if she is a bigger breed dog. She will get lazier and lay around more. She may get sick and vomit or experience a temperament change. Around 6 weeks they tend to lose their appetite for awhile. They want smaller meals and urinate more due to the growing uterus squishing everything else. They dig and scratch as if making a nest for their pups. Around the last week their nipples fill up with milk. If your female went into heat and didn't get bred she might still show all these signs without being pregnant. To rule out this "false pregnancy" for cheap you can get a dog pregnancy test at the vet for $20-$30. If you don't have the money for that you just have to wait and see if she has pups 58-66 days prior to mating. You need to be with your dog as she has pups and call the vet if something goes wrong. If you don't it could result in death. Labor includes pain and often the dog looks like she needs help when she really doesn't and people end up trying to help and messing everything up so you need to know what to expect. To find out what to expect on the birth of pups go to: http://www.hilltopanimalhospital.com/reproduction.htm
Hope that helped!
Good luck to your dog!
And to you! :D
