Owners Couldn’t Believe When Their Dalmatian Dog Gave Birth To An Incredibly Large Litter
Disney’s 101 Dalmatians turned into a reality for a Dalmatian breeder when her dog gave birth to an astonishing number of puppies at once. Such a number of puppies is almost every breeder’s dream, especially if they’re all born well and healthy. But, taking care of so many puppies is a challenge as well, especially for the dog mother that has to nurse them all.
Cecilia Langton Bunkergot has been a dog breeder for almost three decades, always aiming to deliver the best Dalmatian puppies to her clients. However, her love for the breed goes beyond profit, as she’s always had a deep affection for Dalmatians.
The majority of the dogs from CC Dalmatians, her breeding business, ended up as champions and show canines. For this special occasion, she carefully chose a first-time mom, Miley, owned by Jade Martin, and bred her with Astro Wonder Boy. Both breeders took great care of Miley during pregnancy, including regular vet checkups, where they were informed that Miley was expecting three puppies.
However, during Miley’s labor, everyone was in for a shock. The vets counted the puppies in disbelief until there were 18 tiny Dalmatians in the room.
“We got to 16 and thought she was done after 13 and a half hours of labor […] It was quite amazing she popped out another two, making it a world record and Australian record. I was flabbergasted to see so many,” Cecilia shared with 9News.
All Jade Martin wanted was a new puppy for her daughter, Lulu, but she didn’t expect the pup to have 18 siblings. After Lulu picked out her pup, Cecilia placed the rest of them in her breeding kennel.
All of the puppies were examined by the vet and are in perfect health. Although it was an amazing experience, both owners jokingly said they won’t do that again to Miley, even though she’s a great mom to them.
Cecilia had great times with them, but the fun soon came to an end, as all of the puppies were sold, but they’ll always be remembered as the famous 18 pups.
