I have a female and she throws two pups each time. With the male I use to have, it was two females and then two males. then I see others who throw 5-6 puppies. So I am hoping my new Maravilhosa will throw better then two. Only because it takes the same amount of effort on my part. keeps in at home not matter if you have 1 or a good size litter.. I only have a litter per year at this time, and with the way we live, I cannot see me having any more dogs. I have two females now, and two pet only yorkies. I co own my male, he is new so we will see how it goes when the time comes.

I knew the female was the one to produce the amount, and I knew the male produced the sex, what I do not understand some times is how a 7 pounder can throw one or two, and a 5 pounder can throw a huge litter..

anyone have a suggestion on that question..

I hope you keep us informed on baby's and post pics, we love puppy piles..LOL
