As all births are different, the time varies. Usually the actual birth time of each pup is relatively short taking a few minutes to about fifteen minutes. Once the pup has presented it should be out quickly. (Look for any signs of distress if the pup is not delivered, it could be stuck and will need help--contact your vet ahead of time for proper instructions).

The whole whelping process for four pups could run from about thirty minutes up to sixteen hours, depending on the rest period between pups. Alert your vet ahead of time to inform them that you are expecting a litter, and again when the whelping process begins. This way in the event an issue arises, because it often does, the vet is already prepared.

On a side note: although whelping pups can be an incredible experience, it can also be a tragic one. Breeding is best left to people that are dedicated to improving and preserving a breed, while working to eliminate any conditions/aliments that may be present in a particular breed. If your dog is not the breed standard, you don't know their genealogy, or don't know what condidtions may be present or inherent to that breed...please spay and/or neuter.
