Same as any dog, 57-63 days but any pups usually born before the 58th day will be too young to survive.
Its not unusual for them to go 67-73days but this should be monitored carefully by your vet.

Has your dach had all her health checks done, up todate on her worming, vaccinations?

How old is she?
Sorry to go on but we have to ask.

Thanks for info on time frame for pregnanacy.
Our little girl is about 1 1/2 years and is current on all shots.
This will be her 1st and probably last litter. We are not sure yet.
We are waiting to see this one goes. She is not a pure breed though so that is another reason we are waiting.

Was this an accidental breeding? What kind is she?

I'm not a breeder so don't know these things...but isn't 2 the better age to let a dog have a litter?

1 1/2 years old is a little young to be letting her have a litter.
I know smaller dogs mature quicker but still she should be 2years or older.

Also why are you wanting to breed a cross breed anyway?
What can she offer that all other crosses can not?
