How many puppies can a labrador retriever have per year?

A Labrador Retriever can have an average of 6 to 8 puppies per litter, and they typically can have 1 to 2 litters per year, depending on the health and breeding practices. Therefore, a female Labrador could potentially have between 6 to 16 puppies in a year. However, responsible breeding practices often recommend limiting the number of litters to ensure the health and well-being of the mother.
