Firm, swollen, warm to the touch, and painful mammary glands can be a symptom of Mastitis, a bacterial infection of one or more teats. This can be a very serious, sometimes life threatening infection. If you think your dog has Mastitis do not delay in having her examined by a veterinarian.

If your dog is either spayed, or not had a recent heat cycle and it isn't Mastitis, it's possible that it's a mammary tumor.

Either way, it's a good idea to have your dog examined by a vet.

Dogs can have false pregnancies like women do. I would take her to the vet, especially if she hasn't been spayed, and have them check her for mammary tumors.
