Answer
Hi Amy

The first sign is that your female will stop eating.  She will start to nest, so she should have a whelping box, or area where she can safely and quietly whelp her litter.

Terrier's are pretty tough dogs and shouldn't have any issues with whelping.  But to keep things on the safe side, keep your vet on speed dial.

Good luck
