How many pups can be born in one litter on average?

The average litter size for dogs can vary widely depending on the breed. Small breeds, such as Chihuahuas, typically have litter sizes of 1-3 puppies, while large breeds, such as Great Danes, can have litter sizes of up to 10-12 puppies. On average, most dog breeds have litter sizes between 4-6 puppies. However, some breeds may have consistently larger or smaller litter sizes.
