Dogs can be spayed 6 weeks after the first sign of heat cycle. Probably best to get her in to the vet. They can take an xray and will see spines if she's far enough along and you're right. That way too, in case it's something else, the vet will see her and advise.

The vet is your best bet.

Pregnancy and false pregnancy look a lot alike. If she's pregnant, she needs a vet's care, especially as she's very young.

It's very difficult to tell when a dog is pregnant unless you can feel the pups. Even experienced vets have trouble feeling pups sometimes. But if you're right and it's been long enough, as BMDLuver said, an xray would show the pups. Please have her checked over by a vet.

Good luck!
