Breeding the Bitch?

Question
What day of the heat should I get my Bitch bred?
How often or many times also?
How long till she will have puppies this is her first time?
When can I tell if she is bred?
Thank you very much.

I breed late like the 14 and 16 day of heat after first day of blood.
I have bred one bitch only one time on her 16 day of heat, she took, first time she had 10 pups, last year 8.
It takes 63 to 65 days to whelp or birth.
I can tell on my dogs because I know them, but u can have a scan done at vets about 45 days into the pregnancy.
