How long is a dogs pregnancy ?
If this is her first pregnancy then it will be a little diferent.
It also deppends on what kind of dog you have.
I am a breeder and I am also studying to become a Vet so I know a thing or two.
The average time for any dog is going to be between 59-63 days, you will
be able to tell when she gets close to having them because she will get
meloncoly, protective, and her **** start filling up and getting bigger
then she is ready to have those puupies.
Since this is your first time I suggest that you have a Vet onsite when
she does start to give birth, that way they can help you understand what
to do next time.
Puppies can come out front ways or back ways so it is very important
that you understand what to do when the puppy is back feet first, and to
be careful not to hurt the mother dog by pulling too hard or not
pulling enough, and you must be very careful that you make sure that she
has had all of her puppies, if the placinta has came out then that
means there are no more puppies, if it does not come out and she has not
had another puppy in more then 30 minutes then something is wrong.
That is why I said have a Vet onsite while she is giving birth so they can help you out.
Breeding dogs is a whole lot of fun and a wonderful time to get to know your dog.
Good luck, and I hope everything works out for you.
