before your dog goes into labor their temperature should drop down dramaticaly.

durng this process your dog would probably be digging up their bed and making noises.

after this stage you shouldput them in their puppy run or the place where the bith takes place.

your dog might be in labor now for hours or minuets but always spend that time with them or you wont know what to expect

now the next part may be tricky. your dog would think that she wants to go out to the toilet but don't let them because otherwise she will give birth utside instead. don't let that happen.

all you can do now is wait to find out when the first contraction starts. th contractons maybe minuets between each other but the closer they get together th closer she is about to give birth. all you can do now is when the first puppy comes out let her push it out by herself. after the puppy is out make sure that the mother h cleaned it offand take off the sack. if the mother is abandoning pup then you can help her a little and make sure the pup is breathing and crying. now the pup is breathing and crying putit under the heat lamp for 2 mins and then force it to suckle and make sure it drinks the mothers milk. the mother could have as many puppys as 14 depending on th breed of the dog.

now all the puppys are out you cant quite be sure on if the mother is finished giving birth or not but depending on the breed of dog you need to work out the average of pups. again now the pups are all out check again that they are all suckling (feeding) and crying out. when they fall asleep put them next to their mother or under th heat lamp wih their mother. the mother should stay with the pups at a times and keep the heat lamp on. the mother may get hot underneth the lamp and move up the other end of the run but that's ok just make surethat the pups are still underneath the lamp and are warm.

now this should be all you need to know and all set.
