How many puppies can a German Shepherd give birth minimum?

Answer 1

A female will have pups everytime she is mated but it is cruel and unnessessary to mate too many times. You should not mate a GSD until she is mature, no earlier than 3. You should also let her have a season in between litters and not mate after they are 8, the KC will not register the puppies. I wouldn't let mine (not GSD) have more then 3 litters.

You should also make sure the dog and bitch have had all the health checks that are required BEFORE mating and they do not exceed the average scores.

Answer 2

The minimum number would be zero. She could miscarry. It is certainly possible to have a litter of only one puppy, but it is also possible to have a litter in excess of a dozen.

Answer 3

A female should only be mated up to 3 times in her life.

A male can breed up to three times a week.

Answer 4

A few times a year when the bitch comes into season.

Answer 5

No dog should be bred more than twice ideally.
