I know when she'll having her pups? My dog is a medium sized Chihuahua (deer head) and so is her hubby.
My dogs pups are moving allot, she's huge she's still eating normal. The first time they mated was on June 18, 2008 and we are now on August 19, 2008, I know it's 63 days but not sure when the 63 days are up because they mated continuously for 1 1/2 weeks after the first time. not sure exactly when she got preggy. How many days after the heat cycle do they usually get pregnant?

i have two chi's and they mated twice and we had a litter of 4 pups 2 boys & 2 girls. If it's been 63 days since they mated she should be ready to give birth. I loved my little babies. Our pups were born at 65 days by csection

How Long is a Dog in Heat?
A normal heat cycle lasts approximately three weeks. In the beginning stages, known as proestrus, a bitch's vulva begins to swell, and you may notice her licking herself more than usual. Male dogs will also begin sniffing her more as her hormones start to produce a scent that signals she is coming into breeding condition.

[edit]How to Tell if Your Dog is in Heat?
Very soon after the vulva begins to swell, the bitch will begin to produce a bloody discharge. The amount will vary from one bitch to the next, so it may or may not be noticeable.

Sometime around nine to twelve days, the color of the discharge lightens to a pinkish-tan color, and it's usually around this time, referred to as estrus, that the vulva softens and eggs are released from the ovaries. At this point you may notice your bitch flirting with other dogs; this is a sign she is ready to accept a male's advances.

If the heat cycle is allowed to continue uninterrupted, by the third week, the discharge begins to look bloody again. The amount will trail off until the cycle has concluded with an estrus.
