* First day of mating.
* 48 hours after the first mating the bitch should be mated again. Subsequent matings occurring over a period of time enhance the chances of fertilaziton taking place.
* The spermatozoa migrate up through the cervix.

* Sperm travel searching for a mature ripened eggs.

* Spermatozoa reach the eggs in the oviducts.

* Fertilisation occurs in the oviducts which lead from the ovaries to the uterus.

* Fertilised eggs migrate down the oviducts and into the uterine horns.
* The migration continue to enable even spacing of the embryos.
* During this migration the eggs will grow into a blastocystes.

* The blastocystes implant in the wall of the uterus.

* The blastocystes will grow into an embryos.
* During the next two weeks the important organs will develop.

* Dams nipples begin to pink enlarge.
* The fur on the dams belly and around the nipples may become thinner.

* Morning sickness might occur due to hormonal changes or stretching and distension of the uterus. Dam may appear a bit apathetic. She may be off her feed for a while and vomit from time to time.
* Feeding the dam several meals spaced throughout the day might help.
* Your veterinarian may want to prescribe a drug to relax the uterus.

* An experienced person (a breeder or a veterinarian) can tell by careful palpation whether the dam is pregnant.
* It's now the best time to do this because the embryos are walnut-sized now and easy to count.


* Start to increase the dams food ration.
* Don't overfeed, excessive weight gain should be avoided.
* The foetuses are now and are fully developed miniature dogs.

* The Dams abdomen starts to get larger.

* It's very easy now to feel the puppies, counting them might be a bit more difficult.

* Dam begins to spend a lot more time in self-grooming.
* Her breasts become even more swollen.
* She may become a bit restlessness and begin to search for a suitable place to have her puppies.


* The dam might lose her appetite during this period. Her abdomen can be crowded with puppies.
* It is better to feed several smaller meals spaced throughout the day.
* You can easily detect abdominal movement now.

* Nipples and vulva should be gently cleaned with warm water, you might want to trim the hairs surrounding the nipples, to allow easier access for the puppies to suck.

* Milky fluid may be expressed from the nipples.

* You might want to start taking the dams rectal temperature each morning and evening.
* Twelve to 24 hours before she is due to deliver, the dams rectal temperature may drop from 101 to 98 degrees.
* Clear discharge from the vulva might occur.

* Expected date of whelp. Of course this is just an average. Whelping may take place from the 59th to the 65th day. Puppies born before the 58th day will probably be too young to survive.

PLS READ...

Female dogs become sexually mature between 6 and 12 months of age. Smaller breeds reach puberty at a younger age than larger breeds. Most dogs go through a heat or estrus cycle every 5 to 10 months (7 months = average).

The canine heat cycle is divided into several stages based on the dog's behavior and physical signs:

PROESTRUS (pre-heat) = the period of time when a female dog attracts males but is not receptive to breeding. Females usually have a blood tinged vaginal discharge and a swollen firm vulva. Average = 9 days (range = 0 to 17 days)

ESTRUS (heat) = when the female dog will accept the male and stand for breeding. The vaginal discharge usually becomes clear (some dogs will continue to have a bloody discharge throughout) and the vulva less swollen. The bitch will "flag" or hold her tail off to the side when the male approaches. Average = 9 days (range = 3 to 21 days)

DIESTRUS = starts when the female will no longer allow breeding and ends when the ovaries stop producing the hormone progesterone. This period lasts about 65 days in the pregnant dog ending when the puppies are delivered, or 75 to 95 days in the non-pregnant dog. Progesterone may cause many false signs of pregnancy like nesting behavior and milk production even if the dog is not pregnant. "False pregnancy" resolves on its own when progesterone levels decline.

ANESTRUS = period between heat cycles when the uterus becomes smaller and inactive. This is the best time to spay a dog.

BREEDING MANAGEMENT It is best to wait until the third heat period (around 1 1/2 or 2 years of age) before breeding. Successful breeding is more likely if the dogs have had previous breeding experience. Most breeders advise taking the female dog to the male dog, as he will be more comfortable in his own territory. It may help to let the dogs get to know each other before she is in heat. Microscopic examination of vaginal smears is helpful in determining the optimal time to begin breeding. Blood tests which measure female hormones (Leutinizing hormone and progesterone) can also be used to predict when it is the optimal time to breed a dog. These tests are most valuable when artificial insemination is being done or if a bitch has a history of difficulty getting pregnant. Breeding is then allowed every 2 to 4 days until the female refuses to stand for breeding. Successful breeding involves a period of prolonged physical attachment of the male and female due to a localized swelling near the base of the penis (called a "tie"). Do not attempt to pull the dogs apart, this will occur naturally in 5 to 20 minutes.

A veterinarian using palpation and/or ultrasound at about 28 days after breeding can confirm pregnancy.

Average canine pregnancy = 65 days. Range = 57 to 68 days.

ok sir, let's say na namiss ko bantayan ung first day ng heat nia, pano na po ung counting ng 9 , 11 days? Saka sir, pano po example nanganak na ung bitch m eh potty trained xa sa labas, ok lang ba kahit maiwan ung anak habang pinapapoo ?

Ah ok sir. Pero less excercise pag preggy and kapapanganak pa lang right ? sir pano po kung sanay na mag wag ng tail ung dog mahirap po marecognize ? Saka eto pa sir isang pang newbie na tanong, sabi kc sa ibang site kung gus2 m daw madaming pup (9 or more) dapat saktuhang fertile na fertile ung babae like sa 10th day papa stud, 22o po ba un ?
