Usually about 2 months. There are exceptions like the time my dog only had 1 puppy that she never delivered. They had to go in and do a cesarean to remove a 25 pound puppy. I still have that dog.

58-63 days. You should have ultrasound or x rays done prior to that so you know how many pups to expect. I'm sure you have already taken her to the vet to confirm the pregnancy, seems like the vet should have told you all this. If you haven't bred her yet, I would think carefully before doing so. It is quite costly, a tremendous strain on the dog, and a lot of work. If you are not breeding a pure bred dog that has already been proven in the show ring, checked for STD's, breed specific problems like hip dysplasia, etc. you should be asking yourself why on earth do you want to produce more mixed breed or inferior pure breed dogs when our shelters and rescue groups are literally overflowing with unwanted dogs. If you just want a puppy, why not go adopt one instead of risking your dogs life.

60 days is the "average." Give or take 57-63. Keep in mind if you have a small breed dog they are likely to need a c-section. Obtain an emergency hospital phone number and keep it on the fridge till the pups are here. Also have an x-ray taken so you know how many pups she will have, this way if she starts having problems you know how many there are and when she is done. Also just a note- it is a great idea to get her spayed when she is done with this litter. When a dog is not fixed early on you are exposing her to a few fatal problems such as mammory gland cancer and another biggie, a condition called pyometra. Pyo is a terrible infection in the uterus that requires emergency surgery and can be fatal. Keep your girl healthy and consider getting her spayed! Good luck with the pups and make sure you have an emergency contact number so at 3am if she starts having problems you can get her in asap!

If a female is with a big litter ,she can deliver the pups as early as 56 days,but normal litter is delivery of 63 days,or 9 weeks from time of breeding.
