having puppies

Question
My cousins beagle of which I have grown to love has been impregnated by their German shepard.  I am concerned she will have trouble during birth? What are signs to look for? She has had a pup before when bred by a boarder collie and the puppy turned out just fine.  

Answer
the first thing i want to say is to take her to the vet asap. he will probably suggest  a  emergency spay which would terminate the existing pregnancy if she is pregnant. with the dog being so much bigger their beagle has a great chance od dieing while having pups! the signs to look for is at around 25 days the hair will thin around her nipples and she may experience some morning sickness. or the vet can ultrasound at around 28 days to confirm pregnancy. i hope this helps and feel free to ask any other questions.
