However, it's important to note that this is just an average. Some litters may be smaller, with only 2 or 3 puppies, while others can be larger, with up to 10 or even more.
The exact number of puppies in a litter can be influenced by factors like:
* The age and health of the mother dog.
* The size and breed of the father dog.
* The overall health of the parents.
* Environmental factors.
It's always best to consult with a veterinarian for accurate information about a specific litter.
