If you have a pregnant pooch, you have probably started wondering how many puppies will be popping out in a few months.
After all, you have to start getting ready for all those adorable pups and buying supplies, so it is important to know whether to expect.
Toward the end of the pregnancy, your vet will likely be able to palpate the mom’s tummy or take an x-ray to determine an “exact” number of puppies in her belly (although it can be easy to miss one of the puppies, so you’ll never know for sure until the little wigglers start coming out). But we’ll try to explain the basics of litter size, so you can start planning.
A pretty exhaustive study of the topic was published in 2011. The researchers analyzed over 10,000 litters representing 224 breeds and found that the mean (average) litter size in this group was 5.4.
However, there’s a fair amount of variation at play. Miniature breeds typically produced litters of 3.5 puppies, while large breeds typically produced 7.1 puppies per litter.
