SOME OF THE REASONS YOU MIGHT NOT GET PUPPIES
1.  Age of bitch
                a. too young
                b.  too old
        2.  Health of bitch
        3.  Irregular heat cycle (not complete)
        4.  Not bred on the right day
                a.  too soon
                b.  too late
        5.  Low sperm count (use a proven stud)
Remember the bitch determines the size of the litter - the dog determines the sex of the litter.

Another generalization is 'When you do everything right and still no puppies, it is usually a problem with the bitch not the male'.
