    Good grief!! :eek: In all my years as a veterinary nurse I never saw a dog produce soooo many pups. I think the biggest litter was around the fifteen mark which we all thought was pretty special. I don't envy Anny's owners having to cope with that number of pups right through until they're weaned. Anny is certainly going to have her paws full trying to keep all those kids in check!!

    Wow, that is really something! I have a feeling that Momma will have some exhausting days ahead of her. Nice dogs :-D

    Gosh. Poor mummy dog Annie, and owners as well. I can't picture having a normal-size litter, let alone 18 pups. :eek:

    That is a paw full....I have never owned a cat or a dog that had a litter...I have always had them spayed or neutered when the vet wanted it done....I was scared I would want to keep them all, being the animal lover I am.
