Stranger things have happened. I hope her family is prepared to help her with feeding a litter of that size. Even down to 18 that's a lot for one mama dog. May the others RIP. :angel:

After some of the crazy things my local news is reporting lately I'm getting a bit skeptical about whether a story is true or not. mani mani , is there any truth to this story. If so then wow.

Dog in Australia gives birth to litter of 21 puppies, breaking current record
No reason why it wouldn't be. What Fox (not my favourite media outlet) didn't say is that the mother had to have a full hysterectomy.:(
Thank heavens for the veterinary surgery that were able to help.

I don't see why not. Large dogs usually have large litters; 12-15 is pretty normal. So that's not a whole lot more.

World record is 24, also to a Mastiff. Do they mean she just broke Australia's record?
Largest litter - dog

World record for a cat is 19!
