About the time I think I'm exhausting giving three pups all the attention I think is important to their socialization I hear of someone with 10+ pups (from multiple litters). I think one has to know their limit and provide each pup with as much one-on-one time. If one can effectively do that for three or ten, it is they that know. But at first glance I, as a buyer, would mostly choose from the small litter breeder than the large (with all other things being equal in the pup) just because I don't believe the one with so many running around could possibly be adequately caring for them.
I take mine daily (5 days/wk) for car rides, one day (alternating days) a week just one pup comes to work with me for more individualized time (queen/king for the day sort of thing), etc., etc. It'd be hard for one person with 10+ pups to do that consistently and frequently I think.

Actually I'd buy from some of the breeders I mentioned in my previous post that probably have more than 5 litters a year "because" I know their lines and respect their breeding/showing program with NO hesitation
