Why Is My Dog Like This?
I have four dogs altogether. The youngest dog Ebony, is 1 years old. We bought her when she was 11 weeks old. Since we got her she hasn't been a lively or out going pup and we thought she would of came out of it but she didn't.she's not playful, she's quite vicious,she never wags her tail and never licks not like our other three dogs. My main worry is that she is due to have pups in 2 weeks. Will she do what she's supposed to do or will she disown them.

I'm not sure why your dog is like this, I'd need more information. She may just not be a friendly dog. Some dogs are like that. It's also possible that she was abused as a pup and so has a hard time trusting others.
As for the puppies, there's no way to know for sure if she'll disown them. I had a cat once who seemed like she'd be a good mother but when her kittens were borned she wanted nothing to do with them, she wouldn't even feed them.
If you're worried about this happening, you may have to care for the puppies on your own. Are you prepared to bottle feed them? It can be very rewarding to hand raise a puppy. If you do choose this path, they need canned or goat's milk, never ordinary cow milk. Here's a good site where you'll find a formula recipe:

Good luck with your new puppies.

Thanks a lot for your answer! I think she probably was abused when she was a pup. it was very helpful. I was just a bit worried in case she had the pups when there was no-one in the house and she didn't pull the bags off the pups. I have added you as a friend and I will keep you posted on how she does.
