Pups will arrive from 58-68 days after the female is bred.(average being 63 days)
Labor and whelping can take as much as 24 hours...usually less than 2 hours between puppies, but sometimes hours longer. If your female has been straining, moaning, bloodshot eyes, etc. for more then 2 hours with no pups presented, you need to call the vet...as the first one may be stuck...

Depends on the number of pups. It should be not more than 24 hours.
Many have to have c-sections as the pups will not pass through the birth canal. If the dogs labors and does not produce a pup for more than 1 hour call the vet and get her in.
My friend breed them and her last 3 litters had to be done by c-section.

Actually this depends on the dog having the pups. It could take an hour to maybe a couple of hours. Now, if you're referring to when do they actually start labor or are just coming into labor, that could add on more time. Call your vet, they can give you the best possible answer.
