If the dog is an intact female, who was recently "in heat" and had the opportunity to mate, she may be pregnant. If she hasn't been in heat recently, or didn't have the opportunity to mate, she may be going through a false pregnancy. If the dog is a spayed female, or a male, the enlarged nipples can be a sign of disease, so a trip to the Vet is in order.
Not necessarily. Dog nipples can enlarge due to other reasons like hormonal changes, pregnancy, or nursing from previous litters. Enlarged nipples may be a sign of labor approaching, but it doesn't definitively indicate the onset of labor.
Yes they do, all mammals have them, male and female. However, male dogs usually have immature nipples. Also, depending on the amount of fur, it is possible to not be able to find their nipples.
Yes, after heat cycles, a female dog's nipples usually return to their normal size and appearance. It is common for the nipples to swell and become more prominent during heat due to hormonal changes and increased blood flow to the area.
That she is or was suckling kittens.
1Actually most dogs have 8 nipples (or teats). Sometime the ones located more toward the chest are less visible. This is one of the reasons it can be a problem when dogs have large litters such as 12 or more. There just are not enough teats to go around.2they_have_8">they have 8Actually, dogs can have up to twelve nipples, and can also have an uneven number of them, like 7, 9 or 11 nipples.

I actually was wondering the same thing. I have a dog who is 11 months old and in her first heat. I called the vet because I was worried she may be pregnant when I noticed her nipples were swollen. I called my vet and they said it is normal during heat.
Yes it can. All dogs have nipples, even the males.
Enlarged nipples, bloated stomach, difference in behaviour (I.E: Larger appetite, 'nest making', defensive) are the usual signs of a pregnant dog. When the bitch is giving birth, she'll most likely display signs of discomfort; turning in circles, sighing, digging in her bed, seemingly unable to get comfortable.

All dogs no matter the breed, or sex, have nipples.
