A group of puppies is called a litter. The size of a litter can vary drastically based on the breed and if it is the dogs first litter.
My dog had six puppies in her 1st litter of puppies.
well they say 4-5 puppies in a litter but i cant believe that cause these puppies are really small well my Bichon Frise had her first litter and there was 6 puppies BTW they where all girls
You will not no intell she has her puppys.
My Westie had a litter of 4 when she was one, she is now 3 and just had a litter of8! Typically, however, "Westies" have a litter size of between 3 and 5 puppies.
The possessive form for the irregular plural noun puppies is puppies'.example: This is the first litter for the puppies' mother.
It varies, like all pregnancies. However, my friends pit had 9 in her first litter.
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.
NO!
there is not set number of puppies in a litter, the pups can range in number from 1-13, bigger dogs, like mastifs have larger litters, around 6-13 puppies on average.
My neighbors Golden had eleven pups in her first litter. She had another litter a couple of years later and had nine.
The average litter size for a German shepherd is about6. but there can be up to 13. but don't get your hopes up.
