Like most other small dogs, the average litter size of the pug is between 4 and 6 puppies, with about 3 puppies primarily born in the first litter.
In some cases, the number could differ, being just a single puppy or as high as about nine puppies from one litter. The number of babies a pug may have also depends on her size and age; slightly bulky ones could have more pups than leaner dogs.
Moreover, younger pugs have a comparatively small litter size than the older ones. Mainly during the second half of pregnancy, the vet may give an average estimation of the number of puppies the pug is carrying.
