Make an inch deep incision along the abdominal line with any sharp instrument. If your dog yelps in pain, it is indeed the host to demon spawn.
Use fire.

Feel her belly. If you feel lumps, then it's either puppies or cancer.
>> ???
i also had another question. i have another dog (female) who is very dominant. she often nips and tackles the suspected pregnant dog. do you think she would attack or eat the puppies or anything like that?

A. Pregnancy
B. Tumors
C. Obesity

All things you should go to a vet about for tips/advice anyway.

Possibly. If puppies are born, maybe keep them in a closed-off room for a few weeks until they are capable of running away, or at least big enough not to be eaten.

what kind of dog/s are the mother and father?

Yes, that's right, we take unplanned dog breeding very seriously. You know why? Because the US shelters have to euthanize between 4 and 9 MILLION abandoned pets every year. Since we care about animals we find this very upsetting. Statistically, 1/3 of your dog's litter will DIE before they see their first birthday. So unless you spay/neuter all the pups and guarantee they go to loving perminant homes OR keep them all yourself, yes you are being irrisponsible and adding to the pet overpopulation problem.

Did you read what OP said? He said he has lots of land...
But he should at least neuter all the male puppies. We wouldn't want any incest, and neutering is less invasive than spaying.
>> Anonymous
>>180900

OK, so OP has lots of land. So what? Just becasue has the room to keep several dogs doesn't mean he can or will do so responsibly.

Will the OP feed all those dogs properly? Will OP make sure they get their shots? Take them to the vet? Make sure they have a safe place to stay inside when the weather is bad? Take the time to exercise them? ...and so on...

i'm glad u can regurgitate statistics.
just because some people are fuckin retarded doesn't mean you should rail off some textual assault on someone assuming they are the same.
>> Anonymous

just had to get if off my chest ;)

and he should still get the females spayed. when they go into heat the males (even when fixed) will generally become more aggressive. it'll also attact stray males to the area, who inturn could very well knock up the females. Unless the OP feels like monitoring the poon tang of all the females and propperly contaning them when they go into heat (and cleaning up after them)

Anyone who asks on 4chan whether their dog is pregnant rather than going to the vet and then bitches and moans when people tell him to do the right thing can be assumed to be retarded.

I recommend sniffing it's butt and licking a bit. If it has lemony taste, it's pregnant alright.

I love it when people can't take being told that they're doing it wrong. Just now coming in to the topic to say that the speuterfags are right. An overwhelming amount of people and organizations will support this stance. Not that it matters to a retard. Just saying so other people with brains on this board don't feel alone among idiots.

6-8 million animals end up in US shelters every year. 3-4 million of those animals are euthenized.

mutt, the best kind of all. no clue what the mix is. prolly the offspring of two mutts. the dog that impregnated my dog, if my suspicions are correct, is a rottwieler mix. He looks pretty much like a rottie except his coat isnt as slick and he is about 3/4 the size of a normal rottie.
>>181152
nope
>>181155
has nothing to do with being unable to "take it".
Being so stuck in your mindset that ALL dogs should be fixed bc NO owner could possible take care of puppies, is fucking retarded. I understand why yall are such asses about it, but that's no excuse for bein a damn nazi about it.

The only people that have an excuse to be bringing puppies in to the world are good breeders and people who raise their dogs for work. With the overpopulation issue as it is, it's an irresponsibility to allow your dog to have puppies if you're not one of those two kinds of people I listed, no matter how well you care for them.
Also, I'm always amused by how people are "pet nazis" for caring about the collective welfare of animals, and not just their own selfish whims.

Just FYI, folks, the proper term when gender is unknown is "neuter". You do not "speuter" your dog. Male dogs are castrated, female dogs are spayed, and unknown gender dogs are neutered. I blame Bob Barker for the phrase "spayed or neutered", but he's old and decrepit and possibly dead so I forgive him.

As with any surgical procedure, immediate complications of neutering include the usual anesthetic and surgical complications, such as bleeding and infection. These risks are relatively low in routine spaying and neutering; however, they may be increased for some animals due to other pre-existing health factors.

Neutered dogs and cats of both genders have an increased risk of obesity. Theories for this include reduced metabolism, reduced activity, and eating more due to altered feeding behavior. Stump pyometra may still occur in spayed females. Spayed female dogs sometimes develop urinary incontinence, and castrated males display a fourfold increased incidence of prostate cancer over intact males. Neutered dogs have also been known to develop hormone-responsive alopecia (hair loss). Neutered dogs of both genders are at a twofold excess risk to develop osteosarcoma as compared to intact dogs, as well as an increased risk of hemangiosarcoma, a three fold increased risk of hypothyroidism, and an increased risk of adverse reactions to vaccinations.

In addition, neutered male dogs are at higher risk than intact males of developing moderate to severe geriatric cognitive impairment (geriatric cognitive impairment includes disorientation in the house or outdoors, changes in social interactions with human family members, loss of house training, and changes in the sleep-wake cycle) .

As compared to intact males, male neutered cats are at an increased risk for certain problems associated with feline lower urinary tract disease, including the presence of stones or a plug in the urethra and urethral blockage.

+1 internets for the person who has a great reason to spay OPs dog(s) instead of the same repeated stuff; Which while being good reasons, obviously does nothing but judge OP.

I make no judgments. You will either take good care of them or you won't. If you are going to be taking good care of them, then way to go. You're one of the minority who CARES about the pups. I suggest the same thing>>180848said about keeping the pups in a closed off room so that the other dog doesn't attack them. Make sure to check with your vet to make sure that the pups are healthy both throughout pregnancy and once they are old enough to leave the house.
If you aren't going to take care of them, make sure they go to a good home that will have the space and ability to take care of them. If you want to, start contacting people you know now and having them ask around to see if anyone they know would want one of the puppies; it's a good place to start.

Congrats on the upcoming pups, OP. :)

Anyway, if your dog is pregnant for real, the only proper thing you can do for her is to throw her down the nearest flight of stairs and hope for the best.

Why does no one take their dogs to the vet to get sound medical advice?
I doubt your mother knows the proper food you should be feeding a pregnant dog, and what to never feed her. Get some books, read up a TON of shit.

Alright bud, just give your dogs the very best care you can provide. Seriously though, if you like caring for dogs why not volunteer at an animal shelter? You'll understand why we're all so jaded about not spaying and neuturing.
