I have seen females act so funny...one of my girls growled at her belly the first time she was pregnant..she would look down, cock her head and growl...the pups were no doubt moving around.

I have seen females get very upset when labor started..then suddenly a puppy pops out and you see this light blub go on in their head..after that they are not afraid and calm down..pain scares dogs, but once they know what is going on, I find they relax.

One of my girls was bred 3 times and each time it was one pup and a section was needed...the second time I took her to the vet and she ran down the hall barking, very excited..she knew she was there to get her baby..acted the same way with the last section...she never got excited when we went for regular vet visits..infact she had to be pulled out of the carrier.
