Some dogs do not start looking pregnant until just a week or two before they have the puppies. It just depends on how the mother carries the puppies and how many puppies there are. After 2-3 weeks the nipples may be a little pink, but they often are even though the female is not pregnant. After 45 days of gestation you can take the dog to the vet for an x-ray. It will give you a positive yes or no as to if she is pregnant and it will give you an approximate count on how many puppies to expect.

Don't be to concerned about that .. My dog didn't show until a few days before she had the puppies and her nipples didn't change until the puppies began to suck on them. I didn't think she was going to have puppies then all of a sudden bang. Some dogs are different. Some show early some wait until the last minute. Just keep an eye on her and let nature take its course. My other dog I knew she was having puppies right away. She crave ice cubes..go figure lol.

If you are concerned that your dog doesn't appear right, please see the vet.
