Dalmatian Puppies: Litter Of 16 Dogs Born In U.K. (PHOTOS)

It's not quite 101 dalmatians, but it's shockingly close. A Dalmatian named Milly gave birth to a litter of 16 puppies in the U.K. two weeks ago.

According to Channel 4 News, Milly's owners, the Elvins, were told to expect 4 puppies. Perhaps they meant 4 x 4. According to Rebecca Elvins, "The vet pulled out eight and then said, 'Oh, we're going to the other side now.'"

Milly herself was part of a litter of 16. According to the Daily Mail, the family plans to sell all of the pups to new homes, except for one puppy, named Maisie.

Do they belong to the Dugards and is the mother a bible literalist ?

How irresponsible. Such a shame that more people didn't look at the misery of thousands of ex-cute-puppies in the numerous dog shelters all over the world, before 'ordering' a pup from any breeder. The selection is plentiful - all ages, all breeds - just vegetating behind bars. The argument that all dogs in shelters are dangerous is rubbish. Some may be, but plenty will make wonderful family companions. Just look into it carefully - like anything else!

Cute and I hope none are deaf. Deafness is one of the problems with the Dalmatian breed.

I'm sorry but I think this is a disgrace! Millions of dogs die every year in shelters alone and I blame breeders and the AKC. Spay/neuter and adopt and save innocent lives.

Would it have been a disgrace if she had two puppies?

What does the AKC have to do with anything?
