Here are some factors that influence the number of puppies:
* The mother's age and health: Younger, healthier females tend to have larger litters.
* The breed: Some lines of Pit Bulls might be predisposed to larger or smaller litters.
* The sire's size: Larger males can sometimes sire larger litters.
On average, Pit Bull litters range from 4 to 8 puppies. However, litters with more than 10 or less than 3 puppies are not uncommon.
