Question
How do I know if my husky is pregnant?  When will she start showing?

Answer
It's really hard to say for sure. Dogs can also have a false pregnancy, and mimic a real one. You can wait until she's about 40 pregnant and have an x-ray done to tell for sure. If she is pregnant, then she may start to show a few weeks before she's due. If she's a smaller built dog, then she may start to show earlier. It's just too hard to say for sure. You'll just have to wait her out, or have an x-ray done. :-)
