After 14-hour labour, dalmatian gives birth to litter of 18 puppies

Dalmatians typically give birth to around six to nine puppies, although their litters can reach up to 15 puppies

Former nurse Louise Clement was therefore astounded when her dog Nellie gave birth to 18 offspring last month, the Independent reported.

The first-time mother gave birth to 10 male puppies and eight female puppies on 14 April following 14-hour labour.

Ms Clement, who lives near Preston, Lancashire, said they were expecting Nellie to give birth to a large litter as she was “quite big”, but they “had no idea she would have this many”.

She had a great natural labour, but they just kept on coming,” the owner said.

“I thought she’d stopped after number 15, because it looked like she had lay down to go to sleep. But then along came another one, and two more after that.”
