If she had even a single pup it proves that he was fertile. Litter size is usually dictated by the bitch - either by the number of eggs released or how many are ready for fertilisation at mating. It could be she was mated too early or too late in her season for optimum litter size.
I'd be concerned about using a stud dog of this breed who hasn't been hipscored, as HD is a big problem in your breed, so I'd wait until he's been satisfactorily scored before using him again. Of course, your bitch has a satisfactory score, or you wouldn't have bred from her before. If she hasn't been scored either, get that done before you consider taking another litter from hre.
