The average size litter for a small collie is six puppies. Generally, this breed of dog has between four and eight puppies.
No, just because the litter is small doesn't mean that the puppies won't be healthy. You can have unhealthy puppies in a large litter as well. The best way to make sure that the puppies will be healthy is to make sure that the mother has the proper care and nutrition during her pregnancy. First litters can also be low in number.
Depending on the size of the dog, I have had a litter as large as 6 puppies but the dog weighs 10lbs - i have also had a litter as small as 2 puppies but from a smaller dog. I have read that the average litter for a pomeranian is 4.

Sentence A contains a collective noun. The phrase "a large litter of puppies" uses "litter" as a collective noun to refer to a group of puppies born at the same time. Sentence B does not contain any collective nouns.
This depends on the breed, weight, size, health and number of litters the dog has had. Bigger dogs will usually have larger litters, meaning that dogs such as Great Danes can have very large litters (the record for a Great Dane is 19 puppies in one litter). Smaller breeds have been known to have litters of only one or two puppies. Usually if it is a Dog's first litter then there will be less puppies than if she had had puppies before.
The largest litter of Corgi puppies was recorded in the UK in 2007, where a Pembroke Welsh Corgi gave birth to a whopping 15 puppies. This was an exceptionally large litter for the breed, as Corgis typically have litters ranging from 4 to 8 puppies on average.

I have seen a Papillon have 6 healthy puppies.
it depends on the size of the mother and father. if the male is smaller and the female is larger then, it is more likely to have more but small puppies. then again, if you have a small female and a large male, then it is likely to have just a couple of large puppies. i have small males and large females, so my littler are usually bigger and i love small puppies, so i can thank the dad for that. good luck!
