How many puppies can a labador have?

Answer 1

I would say 6-10 average. I know a lady who bred her AKC champion (conformation) female when she was 3 and she had 16 puppies. She had to have help feeding all of them, but they all lived and 9 of them are now champions.

Answer 2

Depends on the dog - some have as little as 5-6 while others have as many as 12-14. Mine came from a litter of 10 and the people across the street's just had 13.

Answer 3

a lab can have a litter of 10 to 12 puppies

Answer 4

Average is 6-8. The largest litter I have had was 14.

Answer 5

Are you going to ask about EVERY BREED????

Dogs will have between 1 and 20 puppies. Although larger litters have been recorded.

Answer 6

they can have as many puppy's ,as many time as they are allowed to breed..
to breed once means usually 3 puppy's.
to keep breeding until she stops probably 8-12
labs are big dogs.

but we have enough puppies in the world with out more.
puppies are cute..........and noisy, especially at the time
they leave their mom, they can become noisy........
you better have an outside heated building for them.
they can be very messy.......so daily cleaning is good.....

just because you have a big dog be responsible.....
let her breed once.............then put her away in a safe place.
she will just continue to allow males to mount her until she goes out., be fair to her she only needs a small amount.

Answer 7

We had a Lab years ago, Babe, she had 2 litters of 10. They're pretty big dogs and are capable of having pretty large litters.

Answer 8

well they can have about 3-9 puppies each litter

Answer 9

I don't really think the breed matters, but it can get up to 24 (a record) for a dog in general.

Answer 10

it depends how many times the male gets the female if its just once then its like 4-6 puppies
