After how many weeks after mating will i know if my dog is preg?

i mated my two wemariners together. that was aprox. 3 or 4 weeks ago but i kind of forget exact. how many weeks it was ago. the mom is 5 yrs old and never had a litter. the dad was a dad to a couple other litters because he was used as stud when he was owned by my friend from work.

how will i know stacey is preg? we mated her on the 9th day and 12th day. what are the signs? how long is a female weim preg for? how many pups will she have? i think stacey was born in a litter of 5 or 6 but i forget. it was a while ago lol.
Answers:
Your veterinarian can ultrasound her at about 25 days and tell you if she's preg or not. That is the first time you can tell for sure as far as I know. It will run you $150 or so. At approx 45 days the pups will be visible on x-ray. This is usually cheaper, and you get the added bonus of knowing exactly how many pups she will have. This helps you know when she's finished her labor, and if she needs help because she's only had 5 but you know there are 6 in there.
You can't go on behaviour alone because dogs can have false pregnancies and will go so far as to produce milk even if they aren't preg! If it's been 3 or 4 weeks she's almost ready to ultrasound! Good luck! There are risks of breeding, so educate yourself on what can go wrong just in case.
Vet will kno
You shouldn't be breeding dogs. You already have two. There are too many cats and dogs already in the shelters. As Bob Barker says always spaid and nudur your cats.

Thank you.
You obviously shouldn't be breeding dogs. GET THEM FIXED!
It takes a week or two. The signs are if she starts sniffing her belly.
Count 63 days (9 weeks) from first mating and the last mating.
Pups can be born any time within that time frame.
Have a ultra sound done at the vets when the female is 7 weeks after the last mating to see how many, if all healthy and most of all to have the female health checked.
Ask the vet at that time for whelping information, feeding, worming and what should you do if the female throws out a pup or more.
Contact me if you want any more info.
Please spay Stacey and STOP BREEDING DOGS. You have NO RIGHT breeding dogs if you don't know anything about it. Spay her before she has this litter. It's obvious you don't care care about the dogs - you care about the money.
You can have an ultrasound done at about 30 days. It can confirm a pregnancy, but not a good method for a head count. After a vet confirms a pregnancy, you can get an x-ray at 50 days to get a "close" head count.

Genstation averages 58-63 days (regardless of breed)
