When and how to tell if my dog is pregnant with no symptoms?

Question

Hello, My female dog locked up with another dog 3 times on June 6th and 7th. She is very healthy as well as the father. She was in heat and we were expecting to see some milk or other noticeable symptoms by now. She has gained a little weight but no other symptoms are showing when I would think she is maybe 3 wks away from delivery if pregnant. When and how would I be able to tell if she is pregnant? I'm starting to get concerned that we paid to get her a mate and wont see any puppies. Help! Pet's info: Dog | American Pit Bull Terrier | Female | unspayed | 2 years and 10 months old | 106 lbs

Based on those dates, Tara would be about 6 weeks pregnant at this point in time. A dog's gestation length is 58-68 days, with an average of 63 days. Typically you wouldn't see some milk at this stage of gestation, it's still a little early. You would see milk closer to her giving birth, or sometimes not at all. The only way to know for sure if she is pregnant is to have her seen by a your vet. The vet can do x-rays to confirm she is pregnant and can tell you how many puppies she is having. I would have her seen by a vet tomorrow to get x-rays done. I hope this helps!
