IF you really want her to be pregnant I would recommend taking her to a reproductive veterinary specialist. It is important to make sure she is ovulating and her uterus is healthy and can carry puppies. Some dogs like people cannot get pregnant. Also, you want to make sure your timing is correct on trying to breed her. As soon as you see signs of heat make sure she is able to be placed with a male.
