MAY 20, 2026 (WEEK 1 -
MATING)
Ovulation is considered Day 0. Ovulation is when the female releases an
egg from the ovaries, ready for fertilization following mating. The female will
be receptive to the male a few days before ovulation. Fertilization of the egg
can occur 2-3 days after ovulation, depending on how long the male's sperm
takes to reach the egg.
MAY 27, 2026 (WEEK 2)
The fertilized eggs make their way to the uterus, where they will eventually
become embedded in the lining. You may notice some minor behavioral changes at
this early stage.
JUNE 3, 2026 (WEEK 3) (6.10.26 - Shadow WEIGHS 89.0 lbs.)
By week 3, the embryos have been implanted in the wall of the uterus.
Development begins and the embryos become dependent on the mother for
nutrition.
JUNE 10, 2026 (WEEK 4)
By Day 28 it is possible for your vet to confirm pregnancy. The fetuses
can be seen through ultrasound and felt through palpation. The fetuses are now
a couple of centimeters long and the spinal cord, eyes and other facial
features begin to take shape.
JUNE 17, 2026 (WEEK 5) Amniotic fluid will build to
protect the pups from around Day 32, so you will notice an increase in
the bitch's size and weight. You may also notice an
increase in her appetite
and should start offering her more food as needed.
By Day 35 the embryos can now be considered fetuses as the organs begin
to develop and their shape becomes more obvious. It is at this point the sexes
of the fetuses are determined as their sex organs develop.
JUNE 24, 2026 (WEEK 6) The fetuses continue to
develop. Their claws will develop by around Day40. By the end of
week six, the coat will begin to develop with each pup's distinct markings.
You should consider setting up a comfortable whelping box in a quiet place and
encourage the bitch to being sleeping there.
JULY 1, 2026 (WEEK 7) The neonatal pups are now
almost fully formed and are beginning to rapidly develop in size. The mother's
appetite will be very large at this point. Preparations for the whelping box
should now be completed.

Day50 and the skeletons will have developed; meaning the number
of pups can now be determined by x-ray. The mother will likely be expressing
milk at this point ready for her pups. The pups are now crowded in the uterus,
and birth could happen at any point! The female may start digging, a natural
nesting behavior, in the whelping box.
JULY 15, 2026 (WEEK 9 - WHELPING WEEK) The female is ready for
whelping and will likely be quiet in preparation of labor. Rectal temperature
can be taken a few times daily to help indicate when labor will begin. A
decrease in temperature indicates that whelping will begin soon.
DOB 7/00/2026
Day 63 marks the average length of gestation in the dog and is likely to
be the day the pups are born.
