63 days is normal gestation. But keep in mind she could 1-2 days early or late. Make sure all her shots are up to date, parvo, etc. Feed a good quality feed and you can run her up to about 6 weeks. Some feed puppy food while she is nursing, but I've always just stuck to a good quality feed. She probably won't show much until 6 or 7 weeks.

Did you worm her just prior to breeding her? This is a very important thing to do with a prospective dam - especially a Beagle. If not, you probably need to do it but I would consult a vet first since she has already been bred.

I live just across the Indiana border, directly west of Evansville, Indiana. I run dogs crossed from K-Buck and Homebrew bloodlines. Medium to the low end of fast. If you're somewhere close, give me a holler and we'll go running some time.
