How long between a dog’s litters?

Expert Answer

A dog should not have more than two litters a year; one is ideal. To protect health, even if you plan another, wait a full year after whelping so the body fully recovers before the second.

Also keep the total number of litters reasonable to avoid a heavy burden on the dog.
