Question
my female pit was breed with my male pit on october 5th and about 6 days later by a stray as she was outside. she is showing some signes of being ready to whelp such as temputer of 99 and sleeping alot and she has been very agressive with our male today. she will not let me out of her sight. my question is how much longer do you think she will take before having her pups she is 63 days tommarow

Answer
Hi Sara

Sounds like she's just being cranky, which happens.

It's 63 days from ovulation, so it could be today, or it could be a few days yet.

The first sign that she is truly starting the whelping process is that she will quit eating, and start nesting hard.

Good luck.
