And dachshunds have 2-6.

You can find out about specific breed litter sizes at:

If mixed breed, estimate at the low end.  If different breed parents, go with the dam (mother's) breed.  If a big discrepancy between dam and sire's breeds, please talk to the vet.  Very small dams cannot have large litters.
