LOL
Pregnancy tests look for the HCG level in a woman's urine--a HUMAN hormone...Human Chorionic Gonadotropin.

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 pretty 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.. dogs do not produce they same hormone as a preg woman so the human preg test will not work with a dog!!! but suposedly there is a new preg test for dogs (but honestly i have heard it does not work) here is the webpage for you to check out this test!! hope this helps ya~

No there isn't. How lucky you are to have 2 GSDs who are suitable for mating together. Presumably they have had all the necessary health checks.

I would think so. I tried to do it with my St. Bernard, though. Had a heck of a time following her around with that stick and trying to catch her peeing, lol. So, unfortunately, I don't have any evidence for ya.
