Hi so if australian shepherds have 6-7 pups and golden retrievers have 4-12 then ho many pups will my australian shepherd have if the dad is a golden retriever?

Answer 1

The number of puppies an Australian Shepherd can have is generally not affected by the breed of the father. Since Australian Shepherds typically have litters of 6-7 puppies, you can expect your Australian Shepherd to have a similar number, regardless of whether the father is a Golden Retriever or another breed. However, it's worth noting that litter sizes can vary due to several factors, including the health of the mother, her age, and other environmental factors. So while the average is 6-7 for Australian Shepherds, she could possibly have a few more or a few less.
