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). So in the wild it would be more likely that some/more would survive. Nowadays the puppies are helped to be raised by humans in houses, so near if not all the puppies survive.
