Dog pregnancies are usually around 63 days. Chis probably tend to go a little earlier. I don't know how early they can survive, but probably not super early. They to a ton of development at the end of the pregnancy. Survival rate is low if they are a week premature or more, from what I have read, but some of that depends on how much work the breeder puts into them, as they would probably require weeks of tube feeding.
