Biggest Size of Litter

[Laura]

We had a dog called Tessa when I was 12.  She had 2 litters - the first she gave birth to 12 puppies!  I remember having a fortnight off school to help with the feeds!!  By the time we had got round to the last pup - it was almost time to start again!  One of the puppies stopped breathing and my Dad gave it mouth to mouth using a bic pen - it survived    along with all the others!!  

Tessa's next litter was smaller - my Dad was asked by someone to take on a week old kitten who had lost its mum in a car accident - he brought it home and put it at the edge of the whelping box.  Tessa came straight over to the kitten picked it up and placed in the middle of all the pups (they were only a few days old).  Not a dry eye in the house.  That kitten as you can imagine grew up neurotic!!  It went to a home with one of the puppies.  Thought I'd share that with you all.  Still makes me smile.

My friend has just recently had a litter of 13 puppies  on christmas eve of all times.  :roll:
She delivered the 1st 7 naturally then had to have a c - section,  her womb was so shot that she had to have an emergency spey :cry:  
Fortunately she has recovered well, and although she lost 2 of the pups, the rest are now big and healthy
They did vary in weights though, with the smallest being 4 oz and the biggest 9.5 oz i think.  Strangely enough the pups that died were on the bigger size of the scale :?
