Dalmatian Has 18 Pups in One Litter


A Dalmatian dog in Leicestershire has given birth to a possible record-breaking litter of 18 puppies.

Button is the daughter of a dog who starred as Dipstick in the Disney sequel film 102 Dalmatians.

Owners Adam and Nicola Morley, of Melton Mowbray, are hand-feeding the puppies. The British Dalmatian Club believes the litter is a UK record.

The couple said the same dog gave birth to 15 puppies in 2007 and they were looking for homes for the pups. Guinness World Book of Records said it did not have details for individual breeds, but the current record for a dog was 24 pups.
