Answer 1

I don't allow my dogs to breed and contribute to the MILLIONS of dogs that die every year because of over breeding and you call me a retard?

Answer 2

Take her to a vet. Sorry if this offends you - but if you don't know the answers to your own questions (which are very basic!), you should get a lot more information before you breed any more dogs.

Do you know how to tell when when your dog might need an expensive emergency c-section? Do you know how to build a proper whelping box with a pig-rail, so that none of the pups can be crushed behind or under their mom? Do you know what eclampsia is? If you don't, your dog could die. Do you know how to tell when all the pups have been born? If there are any left inside her, they could die and so could she. Do you know where the nearest emergency clinic is? Dogs often deliver in the middle of the night. If there are any problems with the whelping, it may cost you $100 just to walk in the clinic's door - then all the other costs on top of that.

Before you breed, you should have had your vet do a health exam and fecal tests and blood tests for intestinal worms and heartworm to be sure her health was good. Then your dog and the sire (who should be a champion - your pups will be worth more!) should have been tested for Brucellosis - a canine VD.
If you bred her to a top quality male from an experienced breeder, they can help you with advice and may even show up to help you deliver the pups - but usually you're on your own. They can also advise you as to whether or not your female is good enough to breed and that she has no major faults that she could pass on.

If you just want a pup to keep for yourself, it's a lot easier (and cheaper) to buy one than to breed your own. The pups are going to need food and shots and worming and lots of care for eight weeks. Have you got the time and energy? You won't make much money breeding dogs if you're doing it right! One of my breeder friends once calculated that she made less than $1.85 per hour after expenses in a litter with no problems. I bred one litter myself (from champion dogs!), but now I'd rather go and buy the pup I want and let someone else have the expense and work of improving the breed.

Answer 3

58-62 days is correct. You are at 62 days now (from May 4th) Depending on how many puppies there are, you may not feel them move. There just isn't any room!

If she doesn't deliver the pups in the next day or two, get to the vet (or sooner if she appears in distress). There very well could be a serious problem. But, in my experience, if there is a serious problem with the pups, labor begins. This can happen at any point in the pregnancy.

I hope that this turns out alright for momma & babies..

Answer 4

A dogs pregnancy is about 21/2 to 3 months. Depending on breeds. You will see the saggy nipples almost immediately but sometimes you never feel the puppies. My female didnt even get really fat until about 3 weeks before she gave birth. You should not be afraid and it will take its course. Your dog will be fine.

Answer 5

They can go up to 64 days no more than that. I wouldn't so much keep trying to feel if it's still alive. I would check her temperature from now till Friday also watch her if she starts nesting she's just about ready to give birth. If she doesn't have the puppy by tomorrow (July 6) I would call the vet and ask them for a c-section. Also if she's about to go into labor her temperature will drop to 99.9 degrees. If she's only going to have one puppy she might need a c-section because the puppy might be too big. (not necessarily).

Answer 6

If you really love yourdog, when this is all over, you need to have her spayed. You need to take her to the Vet ASAP, she might be in trouble and you could lose her if you arent careful.

You know what- after reading your other questions, you are either kidding and laughing at these answers, or you are just plain stupid and you don't deserve to even own a dog. I hope to God that you are kidding. Hmm- porbably not- is this your 1 year old Pit Bull that you are talking about? The one who killed the kitten, or the one you "saved" from the shelter for a "better" life. How do people like you exist in this world????

Answer 7

I agree with the answer left by republicansarecruel, except that I'm a republican and don't think that I'm cruel. Anyway, you could have looked this up for yourself or used common sense. You could have found the facts and acted, or common sense would have told you to take your "beloved" dog to the vet, before the pregnancy endangers her or the pups. Instead, you take the LAZY way and decide to post an uninformed question online for someone else to do the work. Is your next step to dump the pups on the side of the road for someone else, once again, to take care of?

Answer 8

the AVERAGE length of a dog pregnancy is 63 days. it can vary depending on the dogs, but beyond 68 days is not good.

and for your information...it's us "retards" who are giving you the answers you want. you obviously don't deserve to have a pet if you can't watch it while it's in heat so it doesn't get pregnant. it wasn't a planned breeding or you would have known the exact dates of conception...and yes, there can be more than one date.

wake up, get a clue, and hope that you get good homes for those puppies or you are just condemning them to death when they have just begun life. and consider getting your dog spayed, so these scares don't happen again. otherwise it's just us "retards" who are definite responsible pet owners....the ones who care about our animals getting pregnant.

Answer 9

"no retards who want spayed pets pregnancy!!?" I'm not a retard and I, the AKC, and most reputable breeders, don't think that people who don't know how long gestation is, when their dog conceived, or when they should start showing pregnancy, should be breeding dogs. YOU are the reasons that 3-5 million animals are killed each year in shelters. Get some morals and some ethics and don't call those of us who want those numbers to decrease, "retards".

Answer 10

Why don't you take the dog to a vet! Don't you think a vet would be able to answer your questions better than what you called "retards" on the Internet. Maybe analyze who might be the retard here.
