Pregnancy is not only significant for us humans, likewise, Border Collies are mammals and also reproduce, and having your own Border Collie pregnant can to some extent ease the sorrow of your Border Collie aging.

So how can you confirm if a Border Collie is pregnant?

First, we can judge from the Border Collie's daily life. Generally, a Border Collie's diet and routine should be regular and normal. If you find that your Border Collie has decreased appetite, frequent barking, restlessness, and some even vomit, then as an owner, you need to pay attention. In such cases, it is very likely that the Border Collie is pregnant rather than sick.

If this lasts only a day or two, it might be just eating something wrong, but if it continues for a long time, you need to take action. You should note that if you suspect pregnancy, one week after mating, you can check the Border Collie's urine using a "rapid pregnancy test liquid". If the urine test is positive, it means the female dog is pregnant; otherwise, a negative result indicates no pregnancy. At this point, pay attention to whether there is an issue with the Border Collie's diet over the next few days.

After a while, you can ask someone experienced nearby to feel the uterus area on the female dog's abdomen. Generally, after 30 days of pregnancy in a Border Collie, there will be an elastic small ball the size of an egg in the uterus area—this is the embryo. A little later, a veterinarian can use a stethoscope placed on the uterus area of the abdomen to listen for clear fetal heartbeats. If present, congratulations, the Border Collie is pregnant.

In summary, to determine if a Border Collie is pregnant, you can observe, feel, listen, and test using these four steps. However, I still believe it’s not necessary to be so complicated. Once you find that your Border Collie behaves differently than usual, whether in appetite or temperament, if there are any abnormalities, go see a vet. Regardless of the situation, you can promptly adjust how you feed the Border Collie to adapt to its changes.
