your going to get alot of nasty answers about this.It all depends if its the first litter or if she has had more litters before.If she hasn't then she won't have very many,I would say probably 6-7 possibly more but I doubt it.If she has had more litters and is in good health then she can have up to 13.A friend of mine raises them,and she has one female that usually has 7-9 puppies,and another that has 11-14 puppies everytime.The larger she is the bigger the litter size will be.Also she claims that when the female first comes in heat,if you start her on a good puppy food and keep her on it from then till the puppies are weened that the larger the litter will be and the healthier they will be.I hope this helps.

Anything between 1 and 15 is possible. I don't have a crystal ball, so I can't tell you how many yours will have.
My friends female came from a large litter and her first litter she had 13 the second was 12.
It depends on the dog. Most do not have 13 the first litter. Most do not have 13 in any litter.
That would be a large litter.
It all depends on the fertility of the parents, their age and condition, etc.
Litters average 7 puppies.
The largest litter of Dobes mine had were 12, and the smallest was 5.
Dobermans are known for being terrible mothers.
If you breed a Dobe, be prepared to totally hand raise the puppies.
