Day 42 to 49 (per a breeder's website regarding gestation)
Puppies are well-developed and begin attaining size in preparation for birth
You may be able to see/feel the puppies' movements in your bitch's abdomen
Her breasts start to develop and probably contain a bit of colostrum or "first milk"
Your dog is noticeably tired and may begin search for a place to whelp.
Time to set up a whelping box, gather the supplies for the whelp, will we ID the puppies, do I have the birth charts to fill in ... lots for us humans to prepare for the day.
DAY 45: When I rub her tummy there will slowly develop dent or a rounded bump under the skin. I can't quite feel the puppies rolling around, but I do think I saw a quick splash type motion as I walked by after sitting and rubbing her tummy for a few minutes. Will be able to feel the puppies' movements pretty soon. She sleeps soundly, she's taking breaks away from the poodle pack around here. She still jumps and runs and flips around when I've got her special treat. I'd like to get that on a video soon and put it on here. She's eating fine now, still getting those special little meals plus kibble whenever she wants. She's doing great.
