Hiya, just after some information, my bitch Ellie, is on day 55, i have everything ready for her room, equipment etc, camp bed up and ready and just wondered when should i start sleeping in the same room as her.
Many thanks for any advice/opinions

Remember that any bitch can whelp from day 56 and pups will be perfectly viable.

Always the week before due date.
i started staying with my dog a week before she was due too :)
We're sleeping together already :-D She's day 49.

Week before with me too.

Thanks, dont think she is going to last till 29th (Friday), shes very big, not eaten hardly anything and seems quite restless, might be wrong or it might be wishfull thinking!!

My girl did this 24 hours before she went, that was day 60..
Good luck

Why?

She can whelp from day 56 with totally viable puppies.
Quote from Book of the Bitch (yeah, I know, a far too often referred to book ... but it is actually very good :-) )
"In fact the duration of pregnancy is the time from fertilization to whelping and is remarkably consistent at around 60 days"
I'd go along with that, our litter last year was bang on 60 days!! Maybe you are seeing the things that are there and may not have as much time as you're expecting :-) Hope all goes well for you both ... how exciting :-D

Yes i know she can start at any time now and the pups will be ok, just meant that with the heat, she is panting alot and gone off food,
that thats the same for everyone.
Yes have read THE BOOK, at the moment using it as a bible!!!
Shes still hanging in there, excitement is killing me.....
will let u know when ..... x x
