Roughly 18-21 days hormones can be seen that show pregnancy, but about the same time, puppies can be palpated by an experienced breeder or vet.
At 35 days, an ultrasound or x-ray can be done to see how many puppies are present.
Please do not palpate the puppies if you have no idea what your doing, it's best to leave that to a vet.
Good luck!

Listen to ulcrum. Besides..WHY are you wanting to breed your dog? Is she an exceptional specimen
of her breed, conforming closely to the breed standard? Has she any hard to
find virtues that would be a critical addition to the breed? Has she been
tested for genetic problems that can be passed on from the parents and does
she have an exceptional temperament? Has she been shown, and at least is on
her way to being a champion, if not already one?
If you want to bred and do it ethically, you must be committed to
learning all about your breed..its standard, its genetic diseases, the good,
the bad and the ugly. You must understand that your female could die. You
might have nothing but dead puppy bodies whether she lives or not. You might
have to pay for an emergency c-section to save her and/or the pups. If you
lose her, you are responsible for all the feeding of the pups, which will
require you to feed them every 1.5 to 2 hours. ALL hours, not just the
daylight ones. The puppies will poop 24/7, and this becomes your
responsibility to clean whether the mother survives to raise them or not.
The pups still need to be vet checked, vaccinated and dewormed no matter
what. When they reach certain stages of their lives, they need proper
socialization and guidance. They will be your responsibility at least for 8
weeks. After that 8 weeks, you are responsible to make sure they never wind
up homeless in a shelter or rescue. To ensure that, you will have to do
homechecks and make up contracts to be certain the new owners are going to
take care of them for life. You have to agree to always be available to take
back your puppies no matter what.
If you want to be a responsible breeder, look up your local breed
club, jump in and educate yourself. Listen to the advice of REPUTABLE
breeders and learn all you can about your dog. If you just wanna make
puppies to sell for lotsa money, don't bother. We have too many of those
already.

You don't have a clue about breeding. Don't put your poor dog through a pregnancy. You should only breed to better the breed. Do not use your dog as a money making puppy machine.
There are enough healthy, adoptable, wonderful dog (purebred and mixed) being put down in shelters everyday because there are not enough homes and to many dogs. Backyard breeder like yourself are the main reason for this.
Do your dog and everyone a favor and get her spayed.

Do not breed your dog. A good breeder would not be asking questions on here. Your dog could die from being pregant? The puppies and her!

Right after you get her fixed and the vet says, "Nope, she's not pregnant."
GET YOUR DOG SPAYED!
