notes:

  • while most litters have puppy counts, there are some that have an estimated total known and a very small percentage have no counts reported
  • a few breeders do not report their litters, thus a small percentage overall data comes from litter announcements and hearsay reports
  • viable puppies denotes surviving pups not counting stillborns or fail to thrive
  • additional litters are added per year as they are discovered
  • to search for litters by year in the dbS, enter “YYYY ::” (minus quotes) as search string and select “registered name” as field to search
