There are many reasons for puppies not surviving birth. Mother's don't "let" the puppies die, there isn't anything the mother dog can do about it. Some pups are born with internal problems that aren't apparent. Healthy pups should survive, unhealthy pups shouldn't.

How much puppies can dogs have?

Dogs usually have 4-10 puppies. In rare cases, they can have up to 14. (The record is 18!) Sometimes, but not always, a puppy will die. 'Runts' of the litter do not get a lot of food, they can die. If you hand-feed them, they have a better chance of surviving and likely will. Or, you can watch the pups nurse and give each pup a good supply of food.

Is selling lots of puppies and taking good care of them the same thing as a puppy mill?

No, selling lots of puppies and taking good care of them is not the same thing as a puppy mill. A puppy mill is a breeding facility that prioritizes profit over the well-being of the dogs, often keeping them in cramped and unsanitary conditions. Responsible breeding involves taking proper care of the dogs' physical and emotional needs.
