Question
QUESTION: Will she be pregnant?

She in two times in 4 days
I am worried if she is pregnant or not. If you say yes she is then please tell me signs of giving birth and tips of having a pregnant dog.Se is 1 year,1 month old,and 8 days old.

ANSWER: Hi Cindy

She has to be ovulating to become pregnant.  Just because she was bred doesn't guarantee you pups.

Being a young dog, you have to be worried not only that she took but also that she's mentally and physically mature enough to whelp and raise a litter.

A breeding female need good quality food and plenty of exercise. She needs a whelping box and a good vet in case of complications.  

What kind of breed is she?  What was she bred with? What days of her season was she bred?

QUESTION: Hi, this is Cindy again. I am wondering what dose ovulating and guarantee. Also, here are some answers to your questions. My dog is a Alaskan Husky(not pure bred) she mated with a pure bred Alaskan husky. I am not sure what day of her season, all I know is she stopped bleeding. My dad and I took my dog to the vet and the vet told us to come back 40 days after she bred. If you need any more information then just ask some more questions and I will tell you all the information I have.

Answer
Hi Cindy

So did you breed her on purpose?  A female is ready when she ovulates, when her eggs are mature.  This happens about a week after she stops bleeding.

If your vet is going to do x-rays, the pups bones won't show up until after day 50.
