with my girl i couldnt actually 'feel' the pups moving as she carried both litters 'high up' in her abdomen, it was only when she was 7/8 weeks gone that the pups moved lower down and she started showing that i could feel small movements but when she was 8 1/2 weeks she would lie on her back and you could see the pups squirming and moving about (it looked like that very famous scene from alien!) you could see the pups muzzle shapes as they pushed and wriggled! fascinating yet very wierd at the same time!

It's never wise to actually feel for the puppies. At about 5 weeks if you place your hand on her side you may be able to feel something but that would depend on the number of puppies she is carrying. I just like to wait until they are showing and then just watching her side move about when she is lying down.

Depends on the breed and how the dam is carring the pups but I can usually feel them at about 45 to 55 days into the pregancy.

some breed you can not see the puppies moving because the dog is so solidly built that you can not feel any thing. by about 4 to 5 weeks the female will start looking bigger.
