Question
Hi I have a border collie who is four and i believe she is due to have her pups in about 10=13 days, what are some of the signs that she is starting, and could it be early, it is 50 days since she was breed, this is my first time and would like a little advice

Answer
Hello Sharon,

You may want to contact your vet.  However, some of the signs may be that she is getting restless, looking for a place to hide and have her pups, she may look very red in the whites of her eyes and breathe as though she's having contractions.  Those were the most obvious signs in my Border Collies.
