First litter I had I kept 8 pups and then I have a had a litter where I kept 9 and another gyp had 4.  The one thing that I saw help the momma dog more than anything was keeping her comfortable, not too hot or cold and then I put Esbilac milk replacer over her feed.  After about three weeks I start trying to wean the pups to which helps her bounce back also.  I think 6 is a good number cause it gives you an extra pup in case something happens to one.
