Karin,

I only wait a very short time when she first starts to free whelp (that means you will see the bubble).. Usually when they start to whelp for the first puppy you should normally see the puppy whelped within 30-45 minutes, at least that has been my experience.. But it can be a longer time then that between puppies.. One time we waited alittle over 2 1/2 hours between puppies.. All broods are different and no two whelping will be alike.. But you have to remember to stay calm! You lil' girl does not need to feel stress and anxiousness from you while she is whelping..
