Yes a female dog does have afterbirth which usually comes out a while after the pups are born. She will eat the afterbirth because it contains the proteins she needs so dont worry if you notice her doing this.
Hope this helps.

The reason WHY a dog, cat, horse, or any other animal eats their afterbirth is to prevent the blood smell from attracting predators.
