Breeding - What to expect after mating. Pregnancy, also called the gestation period, normally ranges from 58 to 65 days with an average of 63 days. With a planned breeding, the date of mating should be carefully recorded. If there are two matings, make a note of the exact dates and expect birth to occur between 63 and 65 days later. Immediately after your female dog has been mated, is there anything you should do? Make sure that she does not have the opportunity to mate with any other dogs. Remember that oestrus will continue for several more days and she could theoretically become pregnant from another dog during this period.
Spaying Pregnant Dogs. Although pregnant dogs are sometimes spayed after mating to avoid an unwanted pregnancy, this practice is not always safe for the mother. Your veterinarian must assess how far along the pregnancy is and the individual health of your dog to determine whether or not spaying is appropriate after mating. Some veterinarian clinics will not spay any dog that is visibly pregnant or lactating until after her puppies are born and weaned.
