A group of puppies, no matter the number of pups, is called a litter. ~
It would be a litter.
most common is 8 or 9. the limit of puppies is 7-12. :D
The average sized litter for greyhounds is between 5 and 7 pups, so 6 would be the general average.
The average size of the litter a dog has varies from breed to breed of the mother. I don't think the breed of the father matters.Another AnswerAccording to Wikipedia:"A general rule of thumb is that a mammal will produce half as many offspring as the number of teats on the mother."You can read more, below.
The number of puppies produced by any dog is determined by genetics and does not correlate to the number of teets. However, the average litter size for dachshunds is between 3 and 6 puppies.
You could get about 1 to 5
A group of pups born at the same time would be called a litter.

You said, "small dog."Affenpinschers have an average litter size of 2; Yorkshire Terriers have a average litter size of 4.

This question is impossible to answer ! Unless every litter of puppies was registered with some authoritarian group there would be NO way to accurately state how many puppies have been born !
Our chihuahua tried to eat one of her puppies. We had to put it with another mom that just had puppies.
There's no set amount of puppies a pitbull can have. It could be anywhere from 1 puppy to 12. It all depends on the size of the female, her fertility, the studs fertility, and when they were bred. I even heard of people having 16 puppies in one litter.
