Accepted Answer

Usually they spot for about 3 weeks with it getting less and less as time goes on.

Dogs generally come in heat about every 6 months counting from the last heat cycle.

So she was in heat for 3 weeks, pregnant for 9 weeks, will nurse for about 8 weeks which should give you about 2 months before she comes in heat again.

You may want to talk to your vet about worming pups and mom when they get to about 2-3 weeks old.

Be sure to let mom have plenty of food as she has to make milk for the pups.

Hope this helps you!

Ps one more thought - make sure the water bowl in the room with her is one the pups can't get into and get stuck in to get chilled or drown.
