It depends on the breed of dog. Small dogs tend to have smaller litters than large dogs. A toy dog may average 2-3 pups and a dog such as a Golden Retriever will average 6-10.
Usually it's 3
It is dependent on the dog along with local factors on how many puppies a female dog will give birth to, this number is usually anywhere between one and may be around 17 puppies if there are no complications during the pregnancy.
I have seen a Papillon have 6 healthy puppies.
It really depends on the genetics of the specific animal. However - most 'first litters' are usually small - 3 or 4 puppies is the 'norm'.
Usually a bulldog will have 4 puppies in a litter.
A mastiff might give birth to only one puppy in a pregnancy, but litters of up to 16 puppies have been reported. In between these two extremes is the average litter size, which is about eight puppies.
My Malamute so far has 9 puppies and she might give birth to another one....just waiting to see how it goes....
Most human beings usually give birth to one baby at a time. However, other mammals like dogs give birth may give birth to at least six puppies at a time.
My dog had six puppies in her 1st litter of puppies.
