I didn't see the father's weight mentioned anywhere. That makes a difference too. If the father is small also, that will probably mean the puppies will be smaller and make the birth easier. My female is around 4.5 to 5 lbs. and she generally just has 1 or 2 pups. Wait and see....if the puppies are small, she could do fine.
