I really think you should be looking at other things first...there is so much involved. A bitch may have a terrible pregnancy and can even end up being spayed. Also financical implications: The cost of an Affix, registering all the pups, eye testing the bitch (if she passes), The stud dog fee, bedding, whelping materials, head pad, whelping box...the list is endless. Finding a compatitble stud dog not just any dog can be used. After all this your bitch may only ending up having one puppy. There is soo much to think about.
My question is....does it matter how many pups a bitch has? Only someone doing it for money would be interested in that question
Sorry to sound harsh...I don't mean to be but there is just so much more involved than how many puppies a bitch will have
