rule of thumb from wikipedia general rule of thumb is that a mammal will produce half as many offspring as the number of teats on the mother.:animal-pa This rule is altered in domesticated animals since larger litters are often favoured for economic reasons and in dogs, particularly, the great range of sizes and shapes plays a role in how many :animal36 healthy :aimeeyork puppies a female can carry. An average litter consists of about six puppies, though this number may vary widely based on the breed of dog. Toy dogs generally produce from one to four puppies in each litter. :cool: The number of puppies also varies with the mother's age and health, the father's sperm count, the timing of the breeding, and many other factors. :animal-pa |
Interesting, but shouldn't it be called, "Rule of teats?" :D |
