Yes, knew that. (Onesies and twosies litters in particular.) I also know that even when there are contractions, with smallish litters the puppies have a tendency to be very large (they have all sorts of room to grow!) and are often incredibly difficult for mom to deliver. Taking all of that plus bitch's age and repro history you provided, personally, I wouldn't guess, that why I suggested scheduling a section.
