Question
hi , i have a 2 year old staffordshire bull terrier who is 60 days gestation i have recently only been walkin her as far as she has wanted to go , she has been a bit restless theese past couple of  as she is about to whelp shortly,this morning we didnt walk at all only round the corner in fact and she wanted to come home ,so we did. do you think its wise to stop walking her now or should i carry on as we have been leaving it up to her as to how far she wants to go ,if she wants to go at all.

Answer
Hello, I'd let her be...stop the walks for now she may begin to go into labor during a walk and you wouldnt be able to walk her back and I don't think you'd be able to carry her unless your very strong if your also far away. She can whelp anyday now as well be sure to have her whelping box ready.
