Topic Dog Boards / Breeding / Due date help please?
- By paulastar [gb] Date 30.11.11 21:05 UTC
My little girl was mated on 24th, 25th and 26th October and I now know that she is definitely pregnant.  Could you just confirm to me how many weeks (I believe 9) it is until she is due, so that I can work out the dates as near as possible please?

Any help would be greatly appreciated.

That sounds like a lovely present - looks like I'm staying in on New Years Eve!  Thank you.

its easy to work out as it's 62 days :)

Thanks for that - I've read a bit of conflicting information and just wanted to be sure.  My daughter's just pointed out that you've got the same name as my other dog lol :D

Its only my user name which is the woofer in my profile pic

edited to say this date is only a guide & depending on breed they can be 5 or so days early or late

Oh, well it's a good name!   Yes, I'll be keeping a very close eye for some time!

I say 63 days.  And due date from first mating is Boxing Day.  So please be ready for whelping from 19th December, as some bitches go early (pups will be perfectly viable from this date.)

Yes like JeanSW says the number of days you count as normal is 63 -but always count a week earlier as the first possible date from first mating, as some (many!) bitches are early. I had one litter this year, they were born on day 59, my one litter last year was born on day 61.

I would make 100% sure you have a vet you know and trust who is on alert from the 19-20th Dec as you do not want to be rushing to find a vet out of hours last moment. Especially over the christmas period. Have you welped a litter before? I only ask as you were unsure of the due date which made me think you may not have.
Have you got everything you need as again over the Xmas time it may not be easy to suddenly have to obtain milk suppliment or bottles if hand feeding in required or heat pads etc..
Good luck Aileen

Good luck paulastar, hope all goes well for both of us x
