I have had dogs go anywhere from 56-70 days & no problems. One of the very best ways to tell how soon she will whelp is by taking her temp. For a pregnant gyp the normal range is 100.0-101.0, you want to look for a drop in temp to 99.0 or less. I check my gyp's temp every morning, she is due next Weds. In warm weather or if carrying a large litter, they can go early, BUT don't ever count on it. Last litter Autumn went 2 days overdue & she had 10.
DO THE TEMP. IT'S THE BEST WAY TO TELL.
