Hi my name is Peter. I am writing to you in regards to my house mates 5 year old English cross American staffy that is pregnant for the first time. How long after she starts discharging can it take for the puppies to start coming as she started discharging at 3:30 this morning

I would take her temperature rectally twice a day, as this will give you an accurate idea of when she will have her puppies. A dog's normal temperature is between 101-102.5F. Once it drops below 100F, she will have her puppies within 24 hours. Best of luck.
