Dog giving birth to puppies
How long does it take for a dog to give birth?
Take the dog to a veterinarian if it is more than 69 days past conception, the mother strains for over an hour without producing another pup, or if labor goes on longer than eight hours. Anticipate when your dog is likely to go into labor. Most dogs whelp — or give birth — about 63 days after mating.

How long does it take for the first puppy to come out?
The first puppy should arrive no more than two hours after hard labor begins. She may deliver several and then rest for as much as four hours before delivering more. The process will continue as long as she has pups waiting to be born. Once the second stage, starts labor normally lasts 12 to 24 hours.
What is whelping for dogs?
The whelping box is the single biggest item needed. It should provide enough room for the bitch to lay and stretch out comfortably without being so big that the puppies get ‘lost.’ For large breed dogs, it is also nice if a person can sit in the box with mom during labor and delivery and to play with the puppies later.
How do you cut the umbilical cord of a puppy?
If the momma pup doesn’t chew through each umbilical cord on her own, you will have to cut the cord. If you do, be sure to use sterilized scissors, cut about an inch from the pup’s belly, and tie the cord off with the thread or dental floss 1/4 to 1/2 inch from the puppy’s body.
