Yes, it’s likely she is pregnant. Dogs can show no symptoms or some can be uncomfortable. The gestation period is 63 days. She should gain weight and get some mammary development. You can have an ultrasound done to confirm the pregnancy, or about a week before the due date an X-ray can show the number of pups.
