How Many Months Does A Dog Take To Give Birth To Pups After Pregnancy?
Duration of pregnancy in dogs is little over 2 months. It can be of 58-69 days with an average of 63 days. This duration is counted from the day of conception not from day of mating. If dogs don't deliver around 70 days of gestation then visiting a vet is necessary because delivery can be complicated in dogs.
To have correct idea of date of delivery and gestation in dogs, it will be good to get ultrasound after 50 days of pregnancy. You can be benefited by this investigation by knowing litter size, expected date of delivery and birth defects.
You should also avoid whelping in your dog by yourself if you are not professional because delivery in dogs can be risky for mothers and puppies. Ideally, you should get appointment from your vet in order to get delivery of puppies without or least risks.

IT TAKES ABOUT 2 MONTHS
From the date of breeding her, to the whelping date is about 59 days. The actual whelping process will depend on how many pups she is carrying. My German Shorthair Pointer, normal weight 50 pounds, starting giving birth at 1230 am and finished (with puppy number 10) at 6 am. The first 4 puppies came out within the first hour, then one about every 20-30 minutes.
The biggest thing for you to do is make sure she gets the birthing bag of the pup open quickly. She will lick all the blood and other gook up. Gross, I know, but be prepared for that. Then help the pups get to her nipples to start nursing. You may need to squeeze the milk out and stick the pups nose to it.
You can search the web for your particular dog breed and "gestation" for more information. I found calendars and tracking charts on line.
It's a lot of fun to have the pups around. Good Luck. Hope this helps.
