She can whelp anywhere from the 58 day of the first tie to the 63rd day of the last tie. Dependent on how many times you bred her. However, some have been known to go over. The 70th of the last tie is the magic number as to when a vet will perform a C-section. Her actual cycle is predicated on when she concieved....the time frame is a guesstimate on conception.
A female's egg and survive 48 hours. Where male sperm live up to 7 days.
