Hi there! Well my shihtzu just had her puppies 3 weeks ago and this is her first litter. She is on the small, small side and she had 5 puppies! but it depends.
I would find out about your shihtzus "Mother" if her mother had a big litter ex.(7pups) chances are she won't have only 1 or 2 but more.
This is how I estimated how many my dog was going to have but if she was bigger she probably would've gave birth to 6-7 pups.
It's a great experience but I wouldn't do it if you aren't completely ready money wise and mind wise.
Good luck
Well i have a shih - tzu and she had 6 puppies, but before the doctor said it was about 3 to 6 puppies at 1 time.
They can have 1,2,3,4, or 5 puppies. The most common for them is 2,3, or 4.
(Note: DON'T expect to get one for less than 350$)
I have something like 2-6 babies at one time.
Let me know if this helped you!!! ( improve this answer by saying if it helped you)
The average litter size for a Sheltie is 3 - 6 puppies.
small! they have 3or4 puppy's
I believe its 2-4 puppies
2-4 puppies
Shih Tzu's normally have between 3-4 puppies, but this varies depending on the dog and its' size, i.e. a bigger Shih Tzu may have more puppies than a smaller one.
The litter size of a Shih Tzu is 2 - 4 puppies.
it takes at least two months for a shih tzu to have puppies.bigger shih tzus it takes THREE to FOUR months to have puppies
3 to 4 puppies; it really depends they might have less or more.
When they get their momma or are fed
the older it gets!
Ask your vet.
I prefer Sience Diet For Puppies, its a great puppy meal and I use it for my own Shih tzu as well. Veterans also recommend Science Diet too.
sad question, but no. Thankfuly, they dont eat their puppies. :)
Shih Tzu's, like other dogs, have a gestational period from between 58-63 days. So, around 2 months.
I have heard they have about 2-6 puppies at one time.
yes it will still have puppies but watch them when they mate because if she is not steadied by her owner in the 'tie' then he may damage the bitch. hope i helped and hope you get a good litter of puppies. good luck.
