I mated my dog 3 whole times, and she only had one pup. Why?

Question

. I breed my female dog with another MALE dog three whole times they got stuck together, and I want too no why she only had one pup.

Answer 1

That's just how it happens sometimes. Most breeders only have their female with the male twice. My puppy was an only puppy too. At least with one pup you know it is getting enough nourishment from Mommy dog.

Answer 2

The number of mating doesn't have anything to do with how many pups they have. They can breed 6 times and have one pup, or one time and have six. Also if it is a small breed they usually have fewer pups, or fist time mommies.

Answer 3

It happens. Sometimes she doesn't have enough eggs to have multiple pups. Sometimes, it depends on the breed. She may not be suitable for breeding because there may be something wrong with her physically. If it that much of a concern, your vet would be able to examine her and tell you exactly what's going on.

Answer 4

the number of pups is determined by how many eggs she had, and also whether the puppies made it to term. It has nothing to do with hopw many times she mated.
