Question

Answer
Hi Anita

"A watched pot never boils" and all that. LOL.  The hardest thing is the waiting. And when you say "your puppy" you mean your baby right? Age can play a part.

60 to 65 days from ovulation (not breeding) the eggs may have been released a couple of days after she was bred.

Keep a good book on hand, and watch for her eating habits.  If she quits eating, you know the time is near.

Good luck.
