Sperm can stay alive inside the bitch up to 11 days after mating. Therefore, unless you did progesterones, you have no way of knowing when conception actually took place. She could theoretically be due 11 days from tomorrow. But if you're pretty certain that you did the matings at about the right time, then start taking her temperature three times a day. She should deliver within 24-48 hours after her rectal temperature goes below 98. If she does not deliver within 48 hours after the temperature drop, take her to your vet. Leanne
