Signs if a dobe is pregnant?

What are the signs if my dobe is pregnant? It's been a couple of weeks the last time we mate her? This is her first time. I don't see any changes at this time. I need some advice. Im a newbie here. Your response are appreciated. Thanks.

An ultrasound anytime after 28 days is the best way to determine if a bitch is pregnant or not.

I agree - an ultrasound at 28 days is the best way to confirm pregnancy, for sure, as it is possible you could have a false pregnancy.

It is usually impossible to tell if a bitch is pg, (especially if it is her first litter), as they don't even start any body changes until around the 5th or even the 6th week post breeding. Like others have said an ultrasound at around 28 to 30 days post breeding is pretty accurate at determining IF she is in whelp, but is not as accurate at counting how many. There are some (but not absolutel) secondary signs. Like she may start getting a little bit more affectionate, or wanting attention, or maybe go off her feed for a few days around the the 2nd to the 3rd week post breeding. And sometimes her vulva and area above it will stay a little bit more puffy looking after the first month compared to a bitch not bred or pg in which the vulva will start going back to original size. Then later on her nipples will start to get pink and larger looking. These are not always accurate signs, but sometimes, they can be text book. How old is your bitc? Hopefully she is not under two yrs of age. If you are new at this, please read alot and ask alot of questions, for her sake and the pups sake. Be prepared for at least 6-to 10 pups. And a litter of Dobe pups can get pretty demanding so hopefully you have a large area for them to grow and have fun in. Do you have someone to help you when/if she whelps in the middle of the night, and has a problem? Keep a constant contact with your vet. They are your best safety net!! good luck and keep the forum updated.

Your Doberman is very young to be breeding if she is just over one year old. Wondering why you decided to breed her now? A Doberman is not fully mature physically or psychologically at one year of age. Does she already have any show or work titles to her credit?
