How Many Is Too Many?
This assumes the male dogs are not responsible for any unwanted litters. One male
dog can sire 750 offspring in his lifetime. Add that to the numbers below (which
are VERY conservative) and the problem is unbelievable.
This is why spaying/neutering your pets (dogs AND cats) is so very important.
