It is not her first litter, but I did not own her during her previous litter/litters so I don't know anything about her maternal instincts.

I have had the number of 5 pups in my head, but no real reasoning behind it, other than I don't want to deal with a large litter. I want to be able to keep up with each pup in the litter, and that seems like a difficult task when dealing with larger numbers.

Just thought I would ask the question to see if there were any health reasons that might help justify a lower litter number.
