Can cheetah mothers have more than one baby at a time?
The number of cubs born to a cheetah can vary from one to eight, though the common number is three to five.
What breeds can cheetahs be?
Cheetahs are no breed they are one species. But there are different breeds of the species, there is the king cheetah. Here are some facts about what the king cheetahis like and how they are different to the normal cheetahs.The King Cheetah is even rarer than the regular one. It easy to tell the two apart. On a king cheetahs back there's 3 distinct black lines, their tails are bushier, the tails are more striped and the spots are fullerthan a normal cheetahs. A king cheetah lives in the same environment and acts the same, they even live and breed with normal cheetahs. There was a debate about whether the king cheetah was a whole separate species, a sub-species, a colour phase and even a cheetah-leopard hybrid as analysts confirmed that a king cheetahs pattern was more leopard like than cheetah, but it is still a cheetah. A king cheetah may even be born to two normal cheetahs if there is a king cheetah in the family (ancestors). If the two parents are king cheetahs it doesn't mean their cubs will definatly be king cheetahs.
How many cheetahs survive to be a grown up?
Cheetah's mate and reproduce all year round. They don't have any mating season as such. After a gestation period of around 90 to 98 days, a female give birth to a litter of upto 9 cubs. But, the average litter size is between 3 to 5 cubs. The cubs weigh an average of 150 to 300 grams at birth and stay with the mother for approximately 2 years. During this period, the mother protects her cubs and feeds them. Though a female cheetah gives birth to 3 or 4 cubs per litter only one or two survive to be grown ups. Mortality of cheetah cubs is high due to lions and hyenas that kill cheetah cubs to cut out combinations. Even vultures are known to carry off young ones. So, nearly 70% or more cheetah cubs die during the first year of their life itself.

How will cheetah look after their baby?
Cubs are usually reared in hidden areas like bushes and small caves. The cubs lay hidden and don't make any sound when their mother is out hunting. The mother cheetah frequently moves its young ones to ensure that other large predators like lions or hyenas don't pick up the scent of young ones and kill them. In spite of all the effort from the mother, nearly 70% or more cubs get killed in the first year. The cubs stay with their mother for nearly 2 years.

A king cheetah, is a cheetah with more blotch-like markings instead of dots.The king of Cheetahs isn't literally the king of cheetahs. It's a Cheetah with a different coat than a normal Cheetah.Addendum to above answer:I think you are referring to a King cheetah. Most pictures I have seen show a cheetah with black lines running down its back.In some cases, the rest of the coat has smaller lines in place of spots and in some cases the rest of the coat has spots very similar to the spots on a normal cheetah. King cheetahs are very rare.
