Great summary from AKC! Check out this snippet about how to accurately predict due date…
“If your bitch is successfully impregnated, she should deliver puppies more or less 65 days from the date of the LH surge or 63 days from ovulation, not the time of the breeding itself. That’s because healthy s***m can survive inside the female for three to seven days, and it can impregnate the female once she ovulates. So, if a bitch breeds with a stud, she might not become pregnant until days after when her LH surges, and her body releases egg cells.”
