1) I'd like to know how many puppies to expect in a litter from a 3-year-old female Malinois and a 3-year-old male German Shepherd?
My Malinois is Kennel Club registered, and my friend's German Shepherd is also KC registered.
2) How long does the pregnancy last?
Thanks in advance for your help! 👌 !!!

Saloméhautier: The thing is, those friends aren't going to take all the puppies. If there are no takers for them, where will they end up? Especially since people are adopting less at the moment...
I agree, it’s probably better to suggest a rescue like the RSPCA. They’d be doing a really good deed, plus it’ll save your dog from getting too worn out :)
Oh dear, wanting to breed again... and just to give away 'accidental crosses' that will only end up filling the RSPCA shelters in no time. Honestly, when you realise how many puppies a Malinois can have in one litter, it’s a real recipe for disaster.
Hi Jason,
I’m not quite sure I follow. Are you planning on breeding a Malinois with a German Shepherd, or has "the deed" already been done?
The fact that they are both Kennel Club registered doesn't change anything, as the puppies will never be pedigree. What would be the point of such a litter anyway?
If by "how long does the litter last" you mean the gestation period, then it’s usually between just under two months and nearly two and a half months.
