Question
my poodle is 50days into having puppies  she has acted a little different today i took her temp it was 99 whats the earliest youhave heard of puppies being born

Answer
Hello,
Usually puppies come around day 63 or so.  I have heard of them coming maybe a few days early, but nothing near 50 days.  If your puppies were to come this early, chances are good that they wouldn't be fully developed yet.  
Also, your dogs temp should drop to around 98.0 before she is ready to have the puppies.  
You will also see a waxy substance form on her nipples that will let you know that her welping is nearing.  

I hope this helps you and if you need advice on delivering, please feel free to ask; or Poodle questions in general.
