What is the gestation period for miniature schnauzer?

Answer 1

Generally, mini schnauzers would be under the same timeframe that all dogs are in their gestation time....which is between 61 and 64 days from mating. My own personal mini schnauzer had her first litter last November and she delivered 4 healthy pups on her 57th day. We were not expecting them so early, but all was fine and we are planning ahead with this next litter!

Answer 2

Well, the smaller the dog, the longer it lives.

If they start out healthy and receive proper care, most tiny toy poodles live 15-20 years. The exception to the rule "the smaller the dog, the longer it lives" is the "teacup" poodle, which is not a recognized breed, but the result of breeding "toy runts." As the offspring of the smallest, weakest dogs in their parents' litters, they tend to have health issues and relatively short life spans.

Answer 3

The gestation period for a miniature poodle bitch can vary, but the average for all dogs is 63 days (9 weeks). However the average is just an average of all the breeds of dogs, i.e the french bulldog has a gestation period of 69! however larger breeds of dogs tend to give birth earlier, i.e for the spaniel it is 60 days.

During the period the puppies can be born four days either side of the the expected 63 days, if the puppies arrive any earlier or later it is best to call in a vet, as only a very healthy, strong bitch can produce puppies earlier/later that will live.

Some websites state the gestation time is as early as 56-60 days in the poodle, however this is extremely unlikely, as the puppies will have to be very strong, and will likely pass away if born at this time.

Answer 4

The gestational period for a Poodle is approximately 59-63 days.

Answer 5

The gestation period (the time it takes for an embryo to turn into an immature creature, about to be born into air-breathing) is about 60-65 days in most canines, that is, most dogs.

Answer 6

The gestational period for standard poodles is 63 days, depending on litter size.

Answer 7

Roughly 9 weeks
