We run our pregnant dogs until they can't keep up. It usually happens quickly. One run their great & the next they're lagging behind a bit. Usually around 5 weeks. I will say that years ago when we were just recreating, we bought this one female. She wasn't supposed to be pregnant, but we started to be a bit suspicious that she was. She was doing fine with the team though so we kept running her. My husband came in from a run one night and I looked at her & said, "I think that dog is ready to have pups". Sure enough the next morning she had 3 healthy puppies.
We feed puppy food to all our dogs so we don't have to change feeds, but I would strongly recommend puppy food. I'd be cautious about giving her extra suppliments. Get a good vet book & read about whelping. It will lay it out pretty well.
