[citation needed] A female dog usually has 10 teats, though this does not mean she can necessarily provide sufficient nutrition for 10 puppies in one litter. [citation needed] An average litter consists of about five to six puppies, though this number may vary widely based on the breed of dog. Size of the breed is correlated with litter size.
The clitoris (/ ˈ k l ɪ t ər ɪ s / ⓘ or / k l ɪ ˈ t ɔːr ɪ s / ⓘ; pl.: clitorises or clitorides) is a female sex organ present in mammals, ostriches and other amniotes.. Although the clitoris exists in all mammal species, [1] [2] [3] most studies deal with the human clitoris - few detailed studies of the anatomy of the clitoris in non-humans exist. [4]
Animal non-reproductive sexual behavior encompasses sexual activities that non-human animals participate in which do not lead to the reproduction of the species. Although procreation continues to be the primary explanation for sexual behavior in animals, recent observations on animal behavior have given alternative reasons for the engagement in sexual activities by animals.

The juvenile female fossa's os clitoridis and pseudo-penis shrink as she grows, unlike that of other pseudo-penis species. [ 3 ] The mammalian pseudo-penis appears to be simply for display, though the spotted hyena is an exception: the female spotted hyena urinates, copulates, and gives birth through her pseudo-penis.
This assumption is confirmed by the behaviour of males, who in the case of many species are prepared to work to get access to female animals, especially if the female animal is in oestrus, and males who for breeding purposes are used to having sperm collected become very eager, when the equipment they associate with the collection is taken out
[150] [142] In the UK, these terms have other non-sexual meanings that lend themselves to double entendres, such as "pussy", which is used as a term of endearment for a pet cat, "pussy cat". [ 151 ] [ 152 ] [ 153 ] In North American informal use, the term "pussy" can also refer to a weak or effeminate man, [ 154 ] and "fanny" is a term used for ...
A female dog is usually diestrous (goes into heat typically twice per year), although some breeds typically have one or three cycles per year. The proestrus is relatively long at 5 to 9 days, while the estrus may last 4 to 13 days, with a diestrus of 60 days followed by about 90 to 150 days of anestrus.
