The gestational age was timed from the day of ovulation day 0 which was estimated to occur when the plasma progesterone concentration was ng ml. The gestational length in 9 Miniature Schnauzer bitches was found to be range 61-65 days. The initial detection of the fetal and extra-fetal structures were as follows gestational sac at day 17-19 zonary placenta in the uterine wall at day 23-26 yolk sac membrane at day 24-26 amnionic membrane at day 2629 embryo initial detection at day 22-23 heartbeat at day 23-24 fetal movement at day 32-34 stomach at day 29-33 urinary bladder at day 31-35 skeleton at day 34-38 and kidney at day 41-43 .
