How many days from mating are puppies born?
Pregnancy, also called the gestation period, normally ranges from 57-65 days with an average of 63 days. With a planned breeding, you should record the date of mating. If there are two matings, make a note of the exact dates and expect birth to occur between 63 and 65 days later.
How long does it take for a dog to give birth?
Take the dog to a veterinarian if it is more than 69 days past conception, the mother strains for over an hour without producing another pup, or if labor goes on longer than eight hours. Anticipate when your dog is likely to go into labor. Most dogs whelp -- or give birth -- about 63 days after mating.
How long does it take for a dog to be in labor?

How long does it take between puppies being born?
