Your best bet is to contact your vet, who can tell you if your dog is pregnant by doing an ultrasound. The vet will perform the ultrasound for around $40 at 4 weeks gestation. While the ultrasound will not be an accurate indication of the number of pups to expect, it will definitely tell you if your bitch is pregnant.

For pregnancy, the first signs are usually swollen teets and tiny lumps begin to form under the teets after a couple of weeks.

The gestation period for dogs is 9 weeks but you must be prepared for early arrival. Towards the end of gestation, you should regularly take the bitch's temperature as it should drop shortly before she starts to deliver.

You bitch will find a dark, confined space to 'den' in. You must create on for her that is safe and quiet. Do not allow her to find her own as she may choose a spot that is dangerous or hard to access. Once she begins delivering, she will not want to move and may become aggressive towards you if you try. Your vet will be able to talk you through the delivery process and the problems to look out for.

Allowing a bitch to come to term in her first heat is not a good idea as the bitch is not fully developed physically or emotionally. This means that she may experience growth problems caused by the pregnancy, as her body is not fully developed, there would be a higher risk to life and she may also be unable or unwilling to look after her litter.
