  Some dogs will have a false pregnancy... hard to tell until she's far enough along to be xrayed, 45 days from the tie I think, and the xray needs to be done to know in advance how many pups she's carrying, if any. When she starts labor, you'll need to know when she's done by counting the pups born.... And put her on a high quality food, then puppy food two weeks before she's due.
