We are on day 58 from Molly's first breeding (we also bred her two days later). Its a little early but I have started taking her temp and watching her closely. I am so excited! This is her second litter, last year we had a 10 day span where the conception could have taken place because the father lives with us and they tied so often, but this year he is neutered and the breedings were scheduled with the new father so I am very thankful to have a more definite span of days to expect puppies.
We can feel what we think are at least 3 puppies, I can hear heartbeats but they blend together so it is difficult to actually try and figure out how many seperate beats there are. She had two last time and is much larger. She started out at 4.4lb and now weighs 6.4 lb! (a 2 pound weight gain so I wonder if she may have four).
Anyways, wish us luck
We are all prepared but the waiting is the hardest part. I'm trying to not get excited until at least Saturday.
