How long does it take for a dog to have puppies?
By Sally
It's normally 61-63 days, but if the litter is large, they could be born sooner. Of course, if you know when the female was bred, you can count the days; otherwise you have to guess. A vet, or experienced dog breeder, can palpate the female's abdomen and make an educated guess as to how far along she is in the pregnancy and how much time is left (and how many pups there are).

How long will it take my 10 month old Shepherd Akita mix to have pups? I lined her back with a pure Akita.
I wish to know the gestation period for our pet Shih tzu dogs?
