Yorkie Litter Size I have no idea about breeding, but was just wondering if anyone knew the average size of Yorkie litters? Thanks! |
I've heard that the average size is 2-3 pups or is it 3-4? I can't remember the exact number. I've heard of yorkies giving birth to 8 and as low as 1. |
Thanks for the info! |
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 |
I have had a big girl and she had 1 or 2 pups , on the other hand I have had a medium girl and she have 3 to 5 pups |
# in a Litter My Lulu has had one litter of 3 puppies, the other two she had 4 puppies. A friend of mine, her dog has had 6. I also have seen as little as 1. I think I confused you. :confused: Sorry if I did.... ;) |
I think the average is anywhere from 2 - 5. Our litters usually run 3 - 5 with four or five pups being the average. I'm not sure what the smaller gals would throw, as all of our breeding females are 6 lbs or more. Ash |
