Well we had two litters (yes 2) together at christmas 2004, Rosie had 7 (but one died) Daisy had 8.........but sadly due to her not getting any milk we lost 3, my vet told me NOT to bottle feed as the more they suckle from mum, the sooner her milk will come in, but sadly it never did, so in future I will do what I feel is right, we could have possibly saved 1 or 2 of that litter had I acted sooner, but you take note and believe what your vet tells you don't you............well I won't next time.
I don't think my girls will have big litters, they are both smaller dogs than the other two.......but numbers don't matter, as long as they are all fit and healthy
