It is very interesting the birthing(whelping) of a dog...... The gestation period (pregnancy) for dogs (as you know) is approximately 63 days, plus or minus about 5 days. Because there is such a wide margin for delivery and because most of the deliveries here have begun during the early hours of the morning, during the final week of the pregnancy some people place a baby monitor beside the whelping(birthing box) box at night so that they can hear any activity. Usually, dogs whelp around day 60 but one shkould look for other signs that whelping may be imminent, as well. Such signs usually appear within twenty-four hours of delivery. The mother-to-be will be restless and dig at the blankets in her whelping box (nesting). She may refuse to eat or she will V O M I T and have diarrhea(somestimes but not all the tme). Additionally, her body temperature will drop to about 99 degrees just prior to giving birth (normal temperature is about 101.8 degrees). Once labor begins, "mom" will pant and sometimes moan. Eventually, moans will be replaced by grunts which coincide with uterine contractions. These can be felt if one places his hands on the abdomen of the *****. Here, one can try to provide some comfort to her during her first contractions.

My Jack Russell Terrier did. My vet told me it was perfectly normal as long as it isn't so violent that it interferes with the birth process.
