During the female dog's labor and delivery, it is best to keep the male dog away to avoid any stress or interference. Provide a separate space for the male dog to stay in until the puppies are born and the female is ready to interact with him again.
You should be able to feel the puppies move at around 6 1/2 weeks during gestation.

Yes, it can be beneficial for a mother dog to have some time away from her puppies during the day. This allows her to rest, eat, and take care of her own needs, which is essential for her health and well-being. Additionally, brief separations can help the puppies become more independent and socialized, preparing them for future interactions with people and other dogs. However, it's important to ensure that the puppies are safe and cared for during these periods.
Sexual intercourse between a dog (male) and a bitch (female) transfers the male's sperm to the female's vagina. The sperm travel through the uterus and fertilize the female's eggs. The eggs implant in the wall of the uterus and an umbilicus forms which allows oxygen and nutrients to transfer from mother to puppy and waste products to travel from puppy to mother during the puppies' development. Once the puppies are fully developed contractions of the mother's uterus expel the puppies.
A German Shepherd's litter typically consists of 5 to 10 puppies, although the number can vary. The gestation period for a German Shepherd is about 63 days.

Proper socialization and training from an early age are essential for the puppies' development.
Puppies are usually weaned and ready to be separated from their mother at around 8 weeks of age. It is important for the puppies' development that they stay with their mother and littermates until this age, as they learn important socialization skills during this time.
