YES - although it can change depending on the dog you have.

large breeds - most large breeds have between 5-13 puppies each litter and each dog have around 5 litters in their lifetime (although it is not recommended to breed dogs so often) so yes it is deffinately possible.

smaller dogs however have few puppies and it might therefore be unlikely for small dogs to have up to 20 puppies in a lifetime although it is not impossible.

Possibly, but highly unlikely. If she had 20, some wouldn't make it. You would have to bottle feed at least half of them as well.

My brother's golden retriever female died suddenly recently,she was 18 and still active and clear eyed. I know of another one who reached 19, so 20 is not impossible.

Count the dog's nipples, and subtract 1. This is the rule of thumb for all mammals. Actually my dachshund just had puppies and she had eight nipples and had eight puppies, so I don't think that is always the rule of thumb.
