If this is her first breeding you may not be able to tell anything until the end of her 5th week. At that point stand her up on her hind legs; her back against her chest....if she is with whelp, you should be able to see a slight bulge at her lower tummy. Some girls do not show until the last week or so and by that time (day 55) you can have her x-rayed.

I am not a breeder, but sounds like you might need to see you vet to find out for sure. Good luck, and I hope you are prepared

I meant her back against your chest.

At this point it is a bit dangerous to palpitate. One has to now wait for x-rays....

HI,Welcome to YT... *1st let me say if this is your first time breeding this breed please start now while you still have five weeks left, getting all the info you can on whelping, Get a steady vet, a mentor, and your supplies ready.. Also read the breeders sections here, As a lot can go wrong with these little dogs. How much does ur babie weigh? And the Sire? Are both your pets or did you just use a sire, where they only did the deed one time?The more info you give, the more memembers can give advise, but please donot use this form as your only resource, As theirs great help, breeders and advise here, we never can take the place of a vet, Feed your babie puppy chow for extra calcium during her pregnacy, but do not give calcium supplements and x-rays are recommended around day 55, pups usaly come around day 63 however some come sooner, Mine are 11 weeks old and were born on day 61 at a vets office.. Good luck and keep us updated...
