How many time can a dog have a litter a year?

Me personally I am against breeding animals since there are so many in the world who get euthanized every day. My motto concerning animals is "Don't Breed the Bred" witch simply means once the dog has been bred once you shouldn't breed the dog again. But if you still wanna breed your dog or your just curious i say don't breed it more than 2 times a year give the poor dog a break!!! But if all you care about is making money go ahead and breed the dog as much as you want. But please remember my motto concerning animals "Don't Breed the Bred!"
