How many puppies will my dog have?

Well, my female Shih Tzu, Poochie, is in heat, and I left her loose with one of my male Shih Tzu pups, Sammie for the past week. My daughters told me that they mated at least 5 or 6 times. So, how many puppies will I have?
If I have done my adding right, the puppies should be born in late November, so they would be about 5 weeks old on Christmas! Can I sell them then? And, do you charge extra if they are ready for Christmas?
What do you think?
Cindy, do you really think 10? Her first litter was 9 and her second one was 7, although I lost one pup from each litter.
I though 5 weeks should be fine. That is how one my other female, Hershey, was when I got her!
If you want one, I’ll save you a male. I heard something about not mating a female with a larger male for one reason or another, so I think an male would be better for your labs. Would you like me to teach him to use a ladder, just to help you out?
