Multiple litters of puppies can have negative health effects on the female dog, including increased risk of complications during pregnancy and birth, exhaustion, nutrient depletion, and overall strain on her body. It is important for the female dog's health and well-being to allow her to rest and recover in between litters.
I have had 7 puppies as a maiden (first) litter. I have known one female to have 9 puppies for each of the 3 litters she had. average is between 4 and 6, however it can be as little as 1 or 2 or as big as 10 or 12. It all depends on the female every dog is different.
The average litter size for a dog is between 6 to 10 puppies. However, smaller breeds tend to have fewer puppies, while larger breeds can have larger litters. It is also possible for a dog to have more or fewer puppies than the average range.
Aggressive behavior towards puppies can be due to stress, lack of maternal instincts, or health issues. Sometimes, maternal dogs may feel threatened by the presence of other litters or perceive the puppies as competition for resources. It's best to separate the females from the puppies and consult a veterinarian or professional dog trainer for further guidance.
On average a female rottweiler can give birth to 8 to 12 pups. Larger litters have been know, with one female having 18 pups in the UK.
A female pig, also known as a sow, can have multiple litters of piglets each year. They tend to come into heat every 21 days and are fertile for about 2-3 days during this period, allowing for multiple breeding cycles in a year.

As Dobermanns are quite large dog's they can have litters ranging from 6 to 10 puppies. However, this depends greatly upon the age and experience of the mother and her health. First time mums tend to have smaller litters.
Genetics
Yes. Litters can actually have puppies with different fathers.
It depends on the size of the litters they have. A female can be bred twice a year, or about every six months. Many breeds have litters of around six puppies but there are times where they will have a litter with as many as 12 or 15 puppies which could mean as many as 30 puppies in one year! Depending on the breed and health of the dog it varies, but the average is 9.

No. Female dogs go through heat twice a year and the puppies only need there mother for four months before they can leave her. So no it does not

Although it is possible for a dog to have two litters a year, this is not adviseable as it puts too much strain on the mother. Dogs should not have more than two or three litters in their lifetime and most major Kennel Clubs will not register puppies from a female that has had more than three litters.
Well, usually they don't, but if a female dog has puppies they are VERY protective of them and sometimes wont let the father get close till there eyes are open. I know because i once had a friend who had a pug and she had 3 litters of puppies and did the same thing!
if your dog has gone through a heat without getting pregnant in between pregnencies she should be fine
