I personally am thrilled with litters of 3, my best litter was 3 (the 2 boys became HIS Top Producers). This is small enough for you to really give them the personal care and attention for them to be their best, mentally and physically, and 3 is a lot more economical to show than 6! Only one or two is disappointing as one always wonders if there was another, it might have been better (dog people being incorrigible optimists!). It all depends on one's goals...when time and space is limited, and one lives in an area where one is limited to having 3 dogs over the age of 12 weeks, one does not hope for large litters! VBG.
