It's normally 61-63 days, but if the litter is large, they could be born sooner. Of course, if you know when the female was bred, you can count the days; otherwise you have to guess. A vet, or experienced dog breeder, can palpate the female's abdomen and make an educated guess as to how far along she is in the pregnancy and how much time is left (and how many pups there are).
I have always heard 3months+3weeks+3days. Not totally sure on that but, that's what I have heard.
61-63 days and its best to have them x-rayed a day or two before the birthing day. That way you will know if the first one is laying crossways or head down as she is suppose to be in the birth canal and the others can be born with no problems.
Typically about 63 days
