How many pups there will be depends on how many eggs the female passed during ovulation that were greeted by viable sperm. The sperm may remain viable for a couple of days following a tie. I've had a girl have 5 pups with only 1 tie. I highly doubt any more ties would have resulted in more pups, though I usually allow 2 ties, with 1 day in between.
Best of luck with your prospective litter. |
