Question
how can I take care with my bitch to assure of the puppies, and how can I have a big litter, in what way???

Answer
Well, there's nothing you really can do to make a bitch have more puppies. She determins how many eggs she puts out. You can make sure you have her on a really good dog food, gets plenty of exercise, worm her and make sure she's healthy. That's all you can do. The rest is up to her. Like the stud determins the sex of the puppies, the dam determins how many. Some bitches just don't put out a lot of eggs. Good luck!
