Answer

Forgive the question but was he around her when she was in heat? Were they alone or did anyone see them tie?
IF so how long ago?
Usually you don't see mood swings in female dogs when they are bred, however now and again you do. The only way to know for sure is to take the female into the vet around one month of gestation for an ultrasound.
Good luck
