I have a miniature pinscher. On her second "period" she & my male miniature pinscher did "did it" I'd say about 2-3 times. The thing is she really showed signs of being pregnant after she got out of her period. She got very sleepy, tired, always resting, her nipples got a little bigger (at least 6 of her 10), and she is fatter. About 25-28 days after we took her to the vet & the blod test was negative. The vet said she could still be pregnant, that some dogs got negative blood results & then they gave birth to 1 or 2 puppies. She also said that we had to wait. My dog is around 45 days now & she is still sleepy & fat (she hasn't gained much weight since all this started -- but she is definitelly fatter than she normally is). I don't know what to think. Please help me.

Signs of Pregnancy
My dogs give me signs, shortly after breeding to let me know that they are pregnant.
Yours may show some or all of these signs too.
1. Her vulva will stay slightly swollen after their heat ends.
2. Her teats ( nipples will be more pronounced and hard.
3. You will notice a big change in her temperament. She may get quieter or lazy or more loving
>4. 2 weeks after breeding they may experience morning sickness. It can last a week or so. Give her saltene crackers before she gets out of bed and a few throughout the day
By now I know they are pregnant.
Your vet has to wait until day 28-32 of her pregnancy, to palpate the abdomen.
To do this lay your dog on her side, slide one palm beneath her and your other palm over her other side, just below her ribs. Gently squeeze your palms together and feel for little golf balls, these are puppies. If you become good at this, you will be able to count the puppies.
5. In the 4th week you may notice thickening of her sides, between her ribs and hip bone.
6. She may start to show any time after 5 weeks. Larger breeds may carry the pups up in her rib cage so it might not be so easy to notice.
7. Most dogs show at 6-7 weeks. You may notice a normal discharge somewhere in the last couple of weeks. The discharge is clear and has the consistency of thick vaseline and is oderless.
If you notice a discharge that is green or bloody and fowl smelling seek a vet.
8. In the 8th week you can fell the puppies kick and turn around. I just love this part. ♥♥♥

Take her to the same vet (or another one) and ask for an x ray. It will show the pups if they are there and tell you how many there are.
