For a dog it lasts approximately 63 days, plus or minus a couple of days. The average is 61-63 days after conception (approximately 9 weeks).

The gestation period is the time between conception and birth. In cases of large litters, length is usually lessened. In cases of small litter numbers, length may increase. Small, or mini, dogs tend to have their pups a bit earlier and may be nearer to the 58 day mark, and large, or giant, breeds would tend to be closer to the 68 day mark.

The dog could go into labor from the 58th day to the 67th day, counting from the first day of breeding to the time of whelping (delivery). Most pups are born on the 60th to 63rd day. Gestation periods under 58 days in dogs create a risk for the survival of the litter. If the pregnancy lasts over 68 days, get an exam by the vet.

You will be able to tell when she gets close to whelping because she will get melancholy, be protective, and her breasts will start getting bigger and nipples more prominent as she begins to produce milk.

The length of gestation in dogs is normally 61 to 63 days.

Any longer and you need to get to a vet, or the puppies may die.

Commonly a female dog stays pregnant for about 61-63 day.Dogs who are blessed with smaller litters can outlive that deadline by about a week and dogs with a large litter may deliver their pups about a week short of that.

The gestation period for a dog is 9 weeks. You should be taking your dogs temperature twice a day from about day 58 on. When your dog's temperature dips drastically, the puppies will be born within 24 hours. A drastic dip is when the dogs temp dips from its normal 101F to about 98F.

The average gestation period for a dog is 9 weeks. The size of the dog does not matter, it is always 9 weeks. Be sure that you read up on helping your dog have puppies so that you can help your dog and not hinder her.
Usually 9 weeks
A typical pregnancy would be 58 to 63 days. (Eight to nine weeks.)
About 65 days.
Gestation period is only 60-72 days, and the length of time to give birth depends on how many puppies she has and how fast they come. Asking how long it takes a female dog to give birth is as ludicrous as asking how long does it take a human to give birth?

AnswerAbout 18-20 hours at the most.

The first stage of a dogs labor can last from 8-18 hours. About 2 weeks from her due date, start recording her temperature. When her temp falls below 100 degrees F.... she will most likely deliver within 24 hours. It takes 30 minutes or longer in between each pup when they are born. If mom has gone 4 hours without producing a pup (and you know there are more) you need to contact a vet immediately.
It could take them 5 minutes, or it could take them a day. It all depends on the amount of puppies, and the time between each pup being born. Sometimes the mom relaxes her body in between pups to reduce the pain later.
The length of pregnancy (the gestation period) is approximately 58-63 days from date of conception.
The average gestation period for a Dog (of any breed) lasts for around 9 weeks.
it will take about two weeks for the stomach grows, but actually it takes two months and sometimes just two months and 1 day . you will see that they are breathing heavy the day that they are going to give birth get lots of towels maybe twenty and spread the first ten and layout the other ten out on top because there is going to be lots of blood everywhere. get a kitty pool. gloves. wipes. and pay attention ALL DAY just incase they can give birth at any time of the day. like my dog she had two at 7am ,tree more at nine and the rest the afternoon after five o'clock
i think its around 63-65 days

i think it depends on how many puppies its goin to have nd little things like that.

you should get some advice from your vet.
No different then any other breed. Dogs deliver one pup at a time with the time between pups anywhere from a few minutes to a couple hours. If your dog is in active labor, contracting and pushing,maybe turning circles& licking or otherwise acting frantic, get her to a vet right away because something is wrong! Do not let her go more then 30 mins of hard labor(fast contractions, shaking)get to vet ASAP!

A female dog will deliver her puppies within 63 to 65 days.


the length of the time it is in the mum for 9 weeks and it has to stay with the mum for at least 6 weeks .
This average canine gestation period is 59-65 days. It varies due to the size of the dog and how soon after mating fertilization actually took place. Puppies born before 58 days have a slim chance of survival.
A normal canine pregnancy last 63 days, however they can deliver anywhere from 59-63 days safely
The gestation (pregnancy) in dog (all breeds) lasts about 2 months: 60-64 days.
dog's pregnancies last for about nine weeks
about 60 days so like 2 months
she will usually have them 62 days after her and the Male are tied.
Roughly 60 days.

The gestation period (length of pregnancy) is approximately 58-63 days from date of conception.
Really, it varies by breed im pretty sure, but yorkies are pregnant for 3 months so that might be the same for other dogs. You should probably ask a local breeder or animal shelter.
The gestation period (length of the pregnancy) is approximately 58-63 days from date of conception.
