  Each gestation lasts approximately 10 turns, give or take. And depending upon when she goes to K9 Heaven, which could be exactly at 12 years or a few turns over. From there I'll let you do the math.

  In my experience APBTs generally give birth 8 or 9 weeks after breeding. So 16-18 if you don't do anything but breed using a sponsor... Though I would definitely not advise producing so many litters from one dog!

  <br><br>Thank you, as well. That's a lot of breedings.. I plan on breeding her once, I was just curious.

  Well it wouldn't do any harm to the dog or anything, but over-breeding a dog may flood VP with pups from one bloodline. For those that breed APBTs, there's an increased likelihood that one could breed cousins, grandparents, or uncles by accident. Especially with a breed like the APBT (or Greyhound or Border Collie...) that's already somewhat over-populated, more than 2 or 3 litters would most likely go to waste anyway.

  <br><br><br>Ah, i see what your saying. The amount of breedings is fine it's the number of pups that is a problem. Simply releasing inadequate pups is what i do. From 5 or 6 breedings i keep one or two pups. I was worried I was doing something wrong xD

  Exactly it's the number of pups...but no matter how many pups per litter 20 breedings will produce a lot of pups especially if you use a sponsor! I also breed multiple times and release pups that aren't "up to snuff" I didn't mean to make it sound like multiple breedings themselves were a problem, but I was just speaking to the specific situation of breeding one dog 18 times!
