Maltese

Q: How many puppies could a Maltese have because my Maltese is pregnant? I'm asking this because I think my Maltese might be pregnant and I want to know at least how many puppies could this kind of dog have. Photo Credit: Julianna/Flickr CC Answers and Views: Answer by Lizzie Talk to the person who bred your dog. Find out how many pups were in the litter. Toy breeds usually have small litters. Did you do all of the health testing/screening? Answer by Anonymous It depends on what type of dog she mated with. Smaller dogs tend to have between 1 and 3 but she can have any number of puppies especially if she mated with a large dog. Answer by Jenny It varies, but small dogs generally have smaller litters. So sorry to ruin your plans, but breeding won't make you any extra money. You'll only be adding more poorly bred dogs to the world. Have the vet do an emergency spay. Answer by Crystal to Alesi's Chis Su Did it ever occur to you that perhaps the person with the pregnant dog is trying to make arrangements for the puppies expected? Why does everyone have to be so damn ignorant when someone says they have a pregnant dog. Get a grip! Go find another soapbox to stand on somewhere else! What a person chooses to do with their animal is their business. A simple question is being asked…if you don't have an answer to that question, then be quiet! The size of a litter from a Maltese dog depends on many things. Is this her first litter? First litters tend to be smaller as in under 3 pups. What kind of dog bred with her…and her general size. Maltese dogs can run from 4 lbs to about 8 lbs if they are standard breed size. Good luck with your dog and have fun with the puppies! I hope you find them all good homes! Answer by Whiskers It will be best to take her to the vet and first confirm that she is Pregnant and find out exactly how many puppies to expect, and learn about what to look out for and how to help her and make sure your vet is willing/able to help in any emergency no matter what time it is. Make sure you have a lot of money aside for any emergencies and to have the puppies vet checked, dewormed, vaccinated even better microchipped, and spayed/neutered before going to new homes If the parents are not registered and tested for health/genetic problems you will lose a lot of money on this litter if you do everything responsibly. So. Even though it seems sad it would be best to have an emergency spay since it's a lot harder to find permanent homes for puppies (without creating even more puppies) than it seems to be Know better?
