Dear Flo I honestly have no idea why we have had two large litters in a row. In between our two large litters, one of our boys also sired a litter of 8 for another breeder. I have some hunches, but they aren't based on science....just hunches or rather a combination of hunches. I don't think that it is the norm for cavalier bitches to have such large litters. I think that 4-5 is still pretty much the average. Myra Savant
