Yes, someone told me as many as 8 and as few as 1. But I think a lot depends on the size of your dog. I wouldn't expect my 3.5# female to have more than 3. I guess she could have 4 but if she had 3 I'd consider myself lucky.
My 5# girl came from a litter of 7 and I don't remember correctly but I think her mother was about 6+#. Her mother also had a litter of 4 so I am thinking that my baby comes from a good producing line. I have bred her to a male who along with 2 steady girlfriends has produced 5 puppies from a 3.5# female. Sylvia |
