As told to me, the reason if a litter was larger than allowed the
mother could only nurse a certain amount of pups. This might
have changed now I am not sure.

"Special attention must be devoted to the character of both breeding
partners. There is no doubt that temperament is inherited and we can see for
ourselves, particularly those characteristics which give us the least
satisfaction, such as weakness, shyness, drowsiness, and maliciousness. The
dog must be lively, and full of fire; the birth must, under no circumstances be
weak or shy, because she can not only impart this lamentable characteristic to
her young and influence them through the medium of her milk, but later on, she
can influence them through the medium of her milk, but later on, she can such
tendencies into the growing pups by a wild-dog and un-Shepherd-dog example.Â
She both transmits and educate, and thus exercises a double influence. In
reference to the inheriting of mental characteristics, it has not yet been
decided, whether more have been inherited from the father than form the
mother. We can be certain of this, however, that
both parents, as a rule contribute in this respect to the inheritable mass. "
