Approximately June 11-13th would be the most like time of parturition if conception occurred April 12th . The average gestation is between 60-65 days in most dog breeds. Hope this helps. I would recommend going to your vet to check for fetal heart beats around three to four weeks of pregnancy, and then another few weeks after that to check for skeletal structures in an x-ray. This will prepare you for the approximate number of puppies you should expect. Skull size can also be a predictive factor in determine the presumptive likelihood of a C-Section. Hope this makes sense.
