We have 2 Border Terriers Jazz and Bonnie, 3yrs old. We have never had a litter of pups, does anyone have any tips. We have no idea what to expect. Jazz will possibly also come into season soon too, is it a good idea to also mate with her too and have 2 litters at the same time?

2 litter at once is , to much work. Your female should be checked by the vet at 6 weeks along. Research whelping & learn as much as you can. learningtobreed.com would be a great start. At 7 weeks along , I’d take her temp. Most have a temp drop below 99 & will whelp within 24 hours. Please work closely with your vet… for the health of mom & her puppies. Please find a breeder that knows the Border Terrier well before doing this again. Breeding dogs is more complicated then putting a male & female together.
