Answer
Hi Shane

It's harder to tell for hairy dogs. For females that have silent heats or don't necessarily show, you can do one or two things.  Watch the male and/or take the female and do an internal, blood and discharge will be present.

If she has taken, the options are build a whelping box and prepare for pups.

Good luck
