Question
I have a german shepard/husky cross, she is pregnant,by surprise, I know that she gotten around the 24th of May, approximately what date would she be having her puppies, and about how many for that breed of dog.

Answer
Hi T.J

It's 63 for gestation so it depends on how long prior to you getting her was she breed.  A week? a few days?  I would expect something the week of the 15th.

As for the number of pups, it depends on when she was bred (in her heat cycle), her age, what she was bred to, how many times she was bred.  

What I would suggest, is take her for an x-ray, you can get a clearly understanding of what to expect.
