My pregnant GSD temperature dropped below 100 degrees, should I be expecting for her to be having puppies?.

Congrats! Yes expect puppies within the next 24 hrs. You should see her start to nest, so provide adequate blankets/towels for her. Then you will see her panting, becoming restless and having contractions. After the contractions start puppies should be delivered within 30 mins on average. If she seems to be having complications and not producing puppies within that time frame, or if you see green or black discharge then she needs to go to an ER vet immediately. Hopefully all goes well and she has an uneventful labor. Best of luck!
