Having litters comes from the high death rate that there would be if the dogs were in the wild exposed to more diseases and predators (there wouldn't be many predators though).

This may sound cruel, but the Dogs are usually well fed, live near their own kind and are regularly taken out racing or pulling sleds. This is the case with most professional sled Dog owners as they could not possibly keep all of their Dogs in a house with them. The majority of working sled Dogs are kept to work, not as pets.

Can potassium abort baby puppies?
Yes, but not safely or humanely. A large bolus of potassium in the blood stream can be fatal to dogs (or any mammal), and a near-fatal dose can be enough to trigger maternal-protective abortion of puppies. However, it is much more likely that you will kill the mother along with her puppies. If your dog was accidentally bred, your veterinarian can discuss options regarding the fetuses with you. The sooner you have this discussion, the safer any pregnancy termination option will be for the mother.
