She is laying around and every once in a while she will strain, or have a contraction, how long should this go on, before getting worried?

She is just showing signs that the puppies are on their way..You didn't say weather her water broke or not..If her water broke and still no puppies then it is wise to call you vet. Good luck on your family.. Hope things goes well for you. If she strains more than four hours it is also wise to get a hold of your vet. If she doesn't seem to be in hard labor she should be fine. Sometimes it takes hours. My female started showing signs at 10 pm and pop out the first puppy at 4 in the morning. If you have concerns please talk to your vet at least your mind will be at ease.

Each dog is different. The best thing you can do for her and the puppies, is to have her examined by a vet, to make sure that she isn't having complications. The vet is the only one, who can advise you and give you the proper information you need.

the best thing to do is call your vet and ask him. He can give you an approximate time
