She has been to the vet once during her pregnancy but her last due date from her last breeding is tomorrow and she is having no signs of labor. Can anyone give some classic signs she is going to have her pups soon?

Why not talk to your breeder mentor or your rescue group? After all, no ethical person would bered a dog without having a breeder mentor, probably someone that they met while showing their champion dog. What? Your dog isn't a champion and you don't have a mentor? Then, please get your femal fixed as soon as it's safe to. Too many people breed dogs and leave their dogs unfixed and it leads to millions of purebreds being killed in shelters each year. This is not the view of crazy animal activists who are against ANY type of breeding. This is the view of responsible breeders, national and local breed clubs, the AKC, and ALL rescue organizations.

She will start pacing alot and deep breathing. she can be in 1st stage for 12 hours before she really gets going. she should have the puppies 60-65 days after breeding. You have to add 2-4 days because the sperm might have not hit the eggs for a day or two. Good Luck

First of all she will start to nest digging at blankets this making a nest for her pups, 2nd her temp will drop so if you notice her start digging and trying to make a nest, take a rectal temp and if it is under 100 that means that her temp has dropped and she is in labor,,, when she is in Labor she will start to pant and maybe whine or bark,,, this is normal... remember to have the whelping box ready and alot of towels. and all the other whelping supplies ready when whelping in case there is a problem,,, I hope this helps and CONGRAT!!!!! on your new puppies please email me and let me know how many she had

Temperature will drop at least a full degree, nesting, most dogs don't eat much 24 hours prior to labor.

She'll start to make a nest, this is when she starts to dig at the floor and gathering thing to build her nest getting ready for the arrival of her puppies.

restless, circleing, licking the birth canal,water / blood dripping, mucus plug dripping, scratching the ground, looking for a quiet place, off food, drinking, PANTING,... and more LICKING... enjoy this experience its great.. good luck... vet the new family the day after to make sure everything came out.

Then give her a break and get her spayed. Millions of dogs are killed each year from overpopulation. No "congrats" here.

ake her temperature rectally. When it gets to approx. 98.1 she'll have them within 24 hours.
