Puppy Information
Vaccination Schedule for Dogs
The Puppy Whelping Calculator
Puppies are usually born 61 days after conception. It takes
48 hours for the egg to ripen before the Egg will allow
penetration of Sperm. If your female ovulates on day 11 of
her cycle, then conception begins on day 13 of her cycle. Not
knowing exactly when ovulation occurs, this is about as close
as you can get to predicting her due date.
