Should I crate my pregnant dog or let her roam free in the backyard?

Letting her roam the yard is best. Please note that it is not ideal for an 8 month old dog to be pregnant. Recommended minimum breeding age is 18 months of age. Just because biologically she can get pregnant does not mean she should. You need to monitor her carefully for any potential complications.
