I can count 7 heads but about 9 spines so I would say 10 or 11 puppies and they don't look small either.

Good luck. I would also bet she whelps about 2 days early.

Hi Kelly,

The last of my litter of 12 leaves Saturday. My Sally had 10 her first litter and 12 her second litter. She had no problems delivering and was a super mom to her huge brood both times.

Fortunately half of them would sleep while the other half nursed so I didn't have to do much in terms of swapping them out...they kind of took care of that on their own. I did not have to supplement any of them but I did start solids sooner than with smaller litters.

The toughest challenge was not in the beginning but as they grew just moving around with out tripping or stepping on them and getting clamped on by 12 jaws! and loved on by all of them who wanted attention at the same time.

Good luck.... I'm sure if her mom was a good mom she will be too no matter how many she has.

UGH, the more I look at it the more I wanna say 11 pups!!! Anka is not a big female by any means so I truly pray and hope all goes well for her, and the pups!!! 4-5 more day's to go and I will let you all know how many :-) Wish Anka and I luck and cross your finger's and paws for us please!!!

Thanks TashaGSD :-) My old girl Cierra had her breeding all planned out herself in her younger years. When I was working 2 jobs she dug her way out of her kennel and dug her way into my males and popped out 12 pups. All survived but it was really hard on her (and me) and she weaned them just before they turned 3 weeks old. Those little monsters were making her bleed by all her nipples and she didn't want to nurse them any more.

I just can't imagine having such a big size litter again. I would be happy with just 6-7 pups myself. If Anka has more than 10 she is one heck of a fertile female, of course as well as my boy Zavien :-)
I can't wait to get this over so I can calm down from being stressed out about it all , in a good way of course :-) I know Anka will be a wonderful mom with her babies!!!

Kalibeck, I know that is what's scaring me!!! The more I look at it I see more heads. I started thinking 10 but now I'm up to 11. OH, I just don't want her to have too many that she is over whelmed!!!! as well as me of course. Yes PLEASE keep your finger's, toes and paws crossed (everything crossed :-) that all goes well.

I'll go with 10 pups... what a wonderful blessing! Mum will do fine. It's always interesting to see what kind of mum they'll be. My girl wouldn't let me leave her side. Good luck and keep us posted please.
