approximately 60 days

Do you own a Rottweiller? If not, Please do your research on the breed and see if this is the right breed for you!!

Just an FYI!! Did you know that there is a pet overpopulation? There are too many pets that will never find a good home. There are many Rottweilers that end up on death row at shelters and if they are lucky a rescue across the country.

Please spay & neuter your pets. There are many benifits in doing so. http://www.spayusa.org/main_directory/02-facts_and_education/benefits_sn.asp

Save a Live, Adopt a Pet!!

About 63 days give or take a couple of days which is exactly the same whether the dog is a Great Dane or a Chihuahua.

If it is your dog that you suspect might be pregnant please do some research on canine pregnancy, whelping and puppy care.

These sort of questions really worry and irritate me when I think that people who have no idea what they are doing are breeding yet more dogs.

Dog shelters are overflowing with abandoned, unwanted and abused dogs that were once someone's puppies.

P.S. I hadn't noticed Talkpaws answer until I submitted mine but he (or she) has said all that I felt inclined to say and more! And used the same breed examples!

I think my dog is pregnant - How long until the puppies are born?

This is a question we are often asked? I shudder whenever I see it, not because dogs don't get pregnant, only bitches get pregnant, but because so many people are breeding dogs without any idea of what is involved.
This is all too often un fait accompli, a done deed, a sure road to regret, great sadness and tragedy, unless immediate steps are taken.

Ignorance, in itself is nothing to be ashamed of, but when no attempt is made to learn what it's all about, it is unforgivable. Some things can never be undone, like dead puppies and or dead *****!

Whether it is a Great Dane, or the tiny Chihuahua, the gestation period is the same, approximately nine weeks!

Basic Principles of Breeding:

1. You must determine whether your physically mature ***** is worthy of being bred from a conformation point of view. You do this by comparing her to the breed standard. If she has a major fault, probably you should not breed her.
In addition to the breed standard, you must evaluate her from a health point of view. That means having her tested for whatever skeletal problems, eye problems, and or other health problems plague that breed. If you do not get satisfactory clearances for all the known problems, then you should not breed the *****.

2. You must find a suitable stud dog which is also worthy of being bred from a conformation and health point of view and whose conformation will compliment and strengthen that of your *****. The motivating reason for breeding should always be to better the breed.

3. Both ***** and dog should be tested for Brucellosis, and must test negative.

4. The breeding should be supervised by an experienced breeder and should never be left to chance.

You can have your ***** "tested" by your veterinarian at about day 30 - 32. The experienced vet can feel the tiny fetuses by gently palpitating the *****, but only during this narrow window of time. It is suggested that the layperson not try this palpitation for fear of harming the fetuses. Of course you can also use ultrasound to see if the ***** is pregnant, but the cost is rather high.

Now you must prepare for the arrival of the puppies:

You must know what to feed your ***** and what not to feed her.
You must prepare a safe whelping box. Temperature is crucial for newborn puppies!
You need a notebook for recording your *****'s temperature twice a day from about day 58 onward.
Morning temperature differs a bit from evening temperature but when you see that temperature plunge from her normal (of about 101 F.) to close to 98 F. degrees, you know that the puppies will be whelped within 24 hours. You need scales for measuring the weight of your puppies twice a day and recording them.
What if the puppies are born and your ***** cannot or will not nurse them?
You need to have a milk substitute on hand before the whelping, just in case, and the means of administering the warmed food, by dropper or 5 cc syringe (no needle!) or by tube (for experienced breeders only). Cows milk is not good. Goats milk is digestible, but prepared, balanced puppy formula in tin cans is best, obtainable from large pet supermarkets.
You must know how to look after your ***** after the whelping. What dangers to be aware of, what to feed her and how much, and what supplements to feed her.

There are many more things to be aware of and so it is in your best interest to get a good book on this subject.
Fortunately, there are several available and not too expensive nor is the material too complex for the beginner. We urge all those who are breeding dogs to have a good reference book available at all times.
