The eating a lot should at least be one of the signs but I've not nurtured a pregnant dog before so I have no clue
How would u know what breed ur vet used for the mating? Anything could happen u know. I'm just skeptical

Your vet should know how to find out. If he doesn't know then you should get a new vet immediately if you truly love your dog.

This is the stupidest thing I've ever heard. The person that gave you this harmful & silly advice should chop koboko and so should you for following it! Please you need to stop tying your dog's legs. If she plays a lot is is because she is young and needs exercise. You should be playing games with her and taking her out for walks instead of tying her legs to prevent her from playing. Sir, no offence, but shame on you!

For the first three weeks or so of pregnancy, you may not notice any changes in the bitch. Some females will become more demanding for attention, their nipples may enlarge slightly, and some may become hungrier. These are not a guarantee of a pregnancy, but are good signs. Bitches can show the same signs during 'false pregnancy,' a hormonal abnormality, which may occur after a bitch has been in heat.
Several methods are available to determine pregnancy. A clear mucoid vaginal discharge may be seen. It is a reasonably reliable sign of pregnancy and is noticed about 4-5 weeks into pregnancy and continues until parturition. Ultrasound is able to pick up fetal heartbeats at about 28 days into gestation. This will not be able to determine the number of puppies but can give an estimate and can confirm a pregnancy. At about the same time, a veterinarian may be able to palpate the uterus and feel the fetuses. This may not be possible on a large dog or one that has the puppies under the rib cage. A blood test to check for pregnancy is available. It checks for the hormone, relaxin, which is produced when the fertilized egg implants. The test can be done about 28-30 days into the pregnancy. Small litter sizes (less than 3 puppies) may result in a false negative result.

Anyone who think's it is ok to tie a dog's legs for weeks isn't qualified to own a dog and shouldn't be allowed to breed dogs. Bleep the pregnancy.

I already did, sir. I said bleep the pregnancy! Desist from the evil act of tying her legs. If the pregnancy is lost, then it's not meant to be.

No offense sir just asking Do you have a female dog?
If she plays a lot is is because she is young and needs exercise. You should be playing games with her
Playing games with pregnant dog? Somehow, which kind of game? and taking her out for walks[b]Good[/b] instead of tying her legs to prevent her from playing. Sir, no offence, but shame on you!

Sir if you understand what pregnancy is you will know that is a game of 50:50, crossing a leg Chain(it will give the dog a chance to move but not run)that will make the dog to play,jump,run less and even attacking unnecessarily for me is doing the dog good not bad and Most important saving her from pregnancy problems.
Dogs are dogs a pregnant woman knows she is pregnant but your dog may not until is late exoecially the first pregnacy.

That's basically pregnancy detection for dummies all u need to knw. To add I think the guy u call ur Vet is not a veterinarian just one of the many quacks operating around. The reason for tying dogs up I don't get... It's just cruelty to dogs... For the first 3weeks just keep i.e. Dog from seeing strangers and getting all excited same for the Last 2-3week and feed well. Pregnancy diagnosis can be trick in addition to the quote. Taking ur dog to a Vet surgeon at 3week's intervals after mating is not a bad idea.
At this stage u should also notice significant behavioural changes in ur bitch... Digging, looking for cool places to laylow, pickingstuff and keeping a toy nest.and yeah she will get royally naughty. Things she know not to do.. She will do to see you reaction once u let them slide expect to find her on your bed. My Rottweiler did that recently smiley
