Debbie Jensen has a good whelping breeding site. Just google her name and it should pop up for you.
Females usually go into labour anywhere for 62=65+ days after breeding.
You have much to prepare for the big day. Xrays are usually done after day 56 which should tell you the number of puppies expected, and the relative size of the puppies, and also give you a fair idea if a C section will be needed.
I wish you good luck with the whelp. |
First things first:
Welcome to YorkieTalk. Please listen to the member (Gail) quoted above. She is a very experienced show breeder and KNOWS her stuff. Your little one is still a growing young adult herself and it would be prudent to work closely with a vet/experienced breeder who is familiar with small dogs in general, Yorkies in particular.
