Tuesday, February 12, 2008	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 fertilization taking place. The spermatozoa migrate up through the cervix.
Tuesday, February 12, 2008	Sperm travel searching for a mature ripened eggs.
Tuesday, February 12, 2008 - Thursday, February 14, 2008	Spermatozoa reach the eggs in the oviducts.
Thursday, February 14, 2008 - Friday, February 15, 2008	Fertilization occurs in the oviducts which lead from the ovaries to the uterus.
Friday, February 15, 2008 - Sunday, February 17, 2008	Fertilized 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.
Saturday, February 23, 2008 - Monday, February 25, 2008	The blastocystes implant in the wall of the uterus.
Saturday, February 23, 2008 - Saturday, March 08, 2008	The blastocystes will grow into an embryos. During the next two weeks the important organs will develop.
Tuesday, February 26, 2008 - Tuesday, March 04, 2008	Dams nipples begin to pink enlarge. The fur on the dams belly and around the nipples may become thinner.
Monday, March 03, 2008 - Monday, March 10, 2008	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.
Saturday, March 08, 2008 - Wednesday, March 12, 2008	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.
Tuesday, March 11, 2008	Start to increase the dams food ration. Don't overfeed, excessive weight gain should be avoided. The fetuses are now fully developed miniature dogs.
Monday, March 17, 2008	The Dam's abdomen starts to get larger.
Thursday, March 27, 2008	It's very easy now to feel the puppies, counting them might be a bit more difficult.
Sunday, March 30, 2008 - Monday, April 07, 2008	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.
Tuesday, April 01, 2008	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.
Tuesday, April 01, 2008 - Wednesday, April 16, 2008	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.
Friday, April 11, 2008 - Monday, April 14, 2008	Milky fluid may be expressed from the nipples.
Saturday, April 12, 2008	You might want to start taking the dams rectal temperature each morning and evening.
Tuesday, April 15, 2008	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.
Wednesday, April 16, 2008	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.
