When your dog is due to have pups will males smell something and try to hump them? Pitboxer.. Jackrsl chiwawa?
Long story... make it short ... please all the "don't breed your dogs people" know the facts of the story first. WE or I should say SHE adopted us. Sunny lived across the street ... kept coming 2 our house ... stayed for up to 3 days at a time. Several times. The owners left her outside ..no food/water ... and were gone for the weekend... happened alot... we kept her !!! They demanded money ... we paid just to save her from being abused again... (thrown down stairs, not fed, god knows what else) ... took her to the vet for spay..needed more shots... after that have to wait 6 weeks then spay .. well... she went into heat... we go on vacation ... left her with my MOM cause she's in heat ... come home and she has a little encounter with the chiwawa ....hmmm did I mention she is the sweetestest most well behaved 9 month old pitbull boxer mix ever ...... it's been about 60 days since that .... she's even got milk coming out of her ... u know.... now and has since been ignored ...... NOW the chiwawa is all over her... I was kinda thinking false pregnancy but .... She's bigger but I can't feel puppies... maybe cause they are so tiny .... Taco (possiblly a father is 6lbs) is acting funnny all of a sudden .... SUNshine ( the possibly mother 50 lbs) is sleeping alot after 5 and crazy dog during the day. She HAS a vet appointment in 4 days.... but I was wondering. Anyway for all the "your cruel if you don't spay your dog" people.. sometimes there is a story .... If we didn't adopt her she may not be alive today ... and ever since we've had her ( 4 months) the window to spay has NOT been in our favor ! She's 9 months now... and loves and loves and loves our family. Even the cats...For people actually concerned ...... is false pregnancy that common ? She would be due anytime. .... with pitbull/boxer ...... chiwawa/jackrusselll pups...I already checked the due date calender ....

Not too sure but can tell you that if she is pregnant she is due any day now. Can tell you that false pregnancy can cause swollen belly and milk production. And that when a male dog is 'interested' in a female dog it is often an indication of either her being in season or possibly an infection. I would consider taking her to the vet for a check up which will eliminate any concerns you are having.
Well done for saving this girl dog. I hope that if she is pregnant as you suspect that the birth goes well. Consider researching what you will need to do while she is giving birth. My mommy dog went to the vet 3 times while she was in labour and giving birth. Two of her four pups were born in the back of my car. Thanks to a great team of vets both mom dog and the pups were saved.
You don't want to loose this dog that you have worked so hard to save. Please try take her to the vet for a checkup. You can use the money you make from the pups to pay the vet. And make sure she is on VERY good food while she is 'breast feeding' with increased number of meals.
Good luck, I hope all goes well for you and mommy dog.

Gestation for a dog is typically 58-67 days, so your dog is probably going into labor soon. It is often difficult to feel the puppies right before birth because of the changes in the mother's body. If you see milk, it is highly unlikely to be false pregnancy, it is the real thing. Make her a quiet comfortable spot and keep an eye on her. Young and inexperienced mothers sometimes roll over on the new puppies and smother them, so once they are born you should keep an eye on them for the first couple days to make sure she knows what to do.
Male dogs sniff and hump everything. It doesn't really matter that she is pregnant to him, but she would likely be more aggressive if he tries it because she is probably already uncomfortable.
I bet those will be some cute little oops puppies.

Bad news, darl, lol, but yes, after she has had the ''possible'' bubs, the male will smell it. She can get pregnant again as soon as her milk has dried up and she comes into heat again(which is straight after weaning).
Didn't think this was possible until my mum's cairn terrier started to pay more attention to our staffy x boxer. He even tried to hump her leg!!! Her bubs aren't even weaned yet!!! He is now secluded to his own area(home arrest for the poor boy lol). Not taking that risk, while she is still feeding her 9 pups! Not going to even take that risk ever, come to think of it, coz he's a d**k of a dog lol no one but my mum loves him(he's one who will never be bred).
As for false pregnancy, not sure of how common they are. But... Maybe, as I can't see... Won't say that, as anything is possible! I was just thinking of how small a chi is, but then read he's crossed with a jk rsl... I'd make sure with your mum that they actually joined, as we have always laughed at the thought of our dog and the cairn terrier getting stuck, she would drag him around the yard lol but now... hmmm, you've given me something to think about!!! May be buying nappies in the near future!!! But I would say, yes she's preggers, and yep, you'll be counting down!!!
Let us know how it goes, good on you for rescuing her, the poor thing. She has a much better and caring home now, so you shouldn't be critised for anything. Good luck!!!

If the girl dog is almost due the boy dog will not smell her or anything they no not to and when the female has the pups you should not keep it with the male....Hope I helped...
