How It Works

Canine gestation averages 63 days from ovulation. Because sperm can survive several days in the reproductive tract, actual whelping ranges from 58-68 days from first mating. The timeline maps key events including the optimal ultrasound window at week 4 and X-ray puppy count at week 7.
