The number of pups is controlled by the number of eggs released by the mother and how many found room to implant in the uterine wall.
Given the size of the dog she could have 5 or up to 10 or more pups depending on the mom's available eggs during this last heat season.
The temperament and looks will vary depending on which parents characteristics are expressed in the pups.
The coats may be a bit difficult to groom.
I would expect a good energy level and a need for proper exercise as they grow. As brown eyes are dominant over blue, and drop ears dominant over up ears I'd expect them to end up with brown eyes and ears that are tipped or hang down.
But as with all mixes they will be surprises and unique individuals.
Hope this helps you!
