There have been identified about 400 congenital disorders relating to dog development.

Development Overview
Days shown below relate to days after ovulation (day 0).
2 to 5 days - fertilization
14 to 16 days - embryo attaches to uterus
22 to 23 days - heartbeat visible
62 to 64 days - parturition (birth or whelping)
Sexual differentiation begins early in the embryonic period prenatally and continues into early postnatal life.
Caudal vena cava development- five theories to origin (right-sided supracardinal, caudal cardinal, sacrocardinal, lateral sympathetic or subcardinal veins).
