Yes, each dog is different. Some females show very little signs of labor until right before they start pushing hard. Some females cry and really have a hard time and others just breeze through. Much of it depends on the size of the female and the size of the puppy they are trying to deliver. With a bigger pup the mom has to dilate much more and that takes time. You have to keep in mind though, some females that are not build right for delivery may never dilate enough to deliver so you need to feel when she is pushing to see if you can feel the puppy starting to buldge. This process takes time but once the puppy is starting to buldge she should make more progress with each contraction.
