You can never really tell,

my shih tzu had 3 in her first litter(1 was still born)

but my other one ( her sister) had 5 and all of them are still healthy.

shes having another litter in may :)

It depends on the breed of dog. Small dogs tend to have smaller litters than large dogs. A toy dog may average 2-3 pups and a dog such as a Golden Retriever will average 6-10.
