there is really no sure signs of pregnancy until about 3 weeks into it. then, the vet can palpate and feel for pups.

As a dog breeder, sometimes I can't tell that my dog is pregnant and sometimes I can.

Most dogs carry their pups high in their rib cage, and this is more true for some breed compared to others, so it is nearly impossible to feel for pups until just a couple weeks before delivery.

Dogs that are preggers, I've noticed are extremely ravenous. They want to eat, a lot.

Another way to tell is just like us they get moody too. All the new hormones in the body could cause her to be more aggressive towards another dog, especially another female dog.

The most effective way of confirming whether or not your dog is pregnant is to wait until 3-5 weeks into the pregnancy and have your vet do an xray. Ultrasounds are very inaccurate and therefor, I have found to be a waste of money.

Good luck!

The first sign is changes in the nipples. Some dogs do tend to get a bit more loving or clingy to their favorite human too. After about thirty days you usually start feeling milk glands starting to enlarge.

The next logical question is, "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 very 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.

Most experienced veterinarians can determine pregnancy by simply feeling the dog’s abdomen during a certain a window of time—about 20-30 days after conception. During this time period, there is uterine swelling around the placental sites that feels like firm and discrete lumps. After 30 days, the uterine swelling is more diffuse and it is difficult to distinguish the gravid uterus from the feel of the intestinal tract. Dogs that are very large or obese may be difficult to examine in any stage, however.

A third way to detect pregnancy is by taking x-rays. Fetal skeletons can be visualized at about 45 days of pregnancy. This test cannot be done until late in gestation, but it is nice to know about how many of the little creatures you can expect once the actual birthing occurs.

The number one thing that you dog may vomit more they are just like humans with morning sickness. They will become more hungry and on the first day you breed measure her rip the very last one then in 21 days measure it again and it should be 2 inches longer. You really have no idea until there 21 st day of the mating.

when a puppy comes out. have your dog spayed you won't have to wonder. that's about as simple as it gets. i'm sorry but if you don't know the simplest sign of dog pregnancy you don't know the simplest thing about a pregnant dog or the proper raising of puppies. have your dog spayed.
