Answer 1

Well, I had a german shepherd who gave birth to nine healthy puppies. And huskys and shepherds are the same size and shape. So I wouldn't say you have a world record on your hands.

Answer 2

average litter is 6-8 so its ot that too far out of range. they arrive at averages by highs and lows... so obviously others have had that large of litter before. record is 14, if this site is correct
