How many puppies will my dog have?

Question

I have a 1 year old shittzu mixed with teacup poodle. She weights about 7 pounds and I'm thinking of breeding her, but wondering about how many puppies small dogs like that have.

Answer 1

i think that's a little too young to breed cause the breeding system in your dog has not yet fully developed...i heard that if you want to breed your dog, you should breed it when it is at least 2 years old...but if you want to you can...she would get around 3-6. goodluck to you and your precious dog!! =]

Answer 2

Do you want to be a reputable breeder, or a blight on the dog world?
Are you ready to spend hundreds, or even thousands to breed your dog? Are
you willing to feed and care for sick or orphaned puppies every 2 hours? I
mean EVERY two hours, not just the daylight ones! Are you up to at least 8
weeks of puppy poo everywhere? (No matter how ofetn you clean, there's
always more being made.) Are you willing and able to provide a c-section for
your dog if she needs it at a cost of up to $1000? Are you ready to dispose
of her dead body if something goes tragically wrong?

A REPUTABLE breeder takes animals of her breeding back at any time for
any reason. Whether they offer a refund depends on circumstances,

A REPUTABLE breeder wants to meet the WHOLE family to see how the
puppy
interacts with each memeber. They will visit the potential home with
the
puppy before allowing the new owner to purchase a puppy.

A REPUTABLE breeder knows the standard for the breed and tests for
genetic faults and diseases as much as possible.

A REPUTABLE breeder keeps a puppy for months or years if the right
home isn't found for it. They don't take the money and dump the pup on just
anyone.


Some examples: If you ask a breeder of Shetland sheepdogs if they test
for
VonWillebrand's disease in breeding dogs, they should be able to
explain the
process and tell you if the pups are clear or carriers. If you ask a
breeder
of Labrador retrievers how the parents did on their OFA screening,
they
should know what you're talking about.

Each breed has genetic diseases breeders can test for to prevent their
occurrance, or so as to make wise breeding decisions. Each breed has a
national club who will tell you what to look for in a healthy pup of
that
breed and what to ask breeders to help determine if they are
reputable.

Any reputable breeder will know about the problems of their breed as
well as
its strong points. Any reputable breeder will accept their own bred
pups
back at any age for any reason, and most INSIST the dog comes back to
them
if the new owner cannot keep it, just as the shelter does.

A reputable breeder shows their dogs to judges to help determine if
their dog is worthy of breeding.

So do you want to be a reputable breeder? If so, find a kennel or
breed club, pull up a chair,and start learning how to be one. If you just
wanna be another scummy profit puppy manufacturer, spay your dog. We got
enough of them already.
