Breeding my german shepards

Question
Hi i have male and female shepard she was recently on heat. but been the first time breeding not sure how to tell if she is pregnant. could please guide me on this.

Answer
The best way is to take her to your vet and have her examined. Palpation will often be enough, but the vet can also do an ultrasound at around 28 days, or he/she can do an X-ray after 50 days.

Otherwise, just wait and you will know nine weeks after the fact.
