A British Rottweiler has just given birth to a two-year-old Rottweiler. Eleanor Usher was shocked when her family pet Jessie gave birth to fifteen puppies, which is the second largest litter in the country. Usher was only expecting five puppies. The owner's husband, Ian, has put together a makeshift food for the dogs, which will be sold in six to eight weeks. Jessie is fiercely independent and won't let anyone else feed the puppies. The litter has been quietly cuddling at night and feeding from their mother almost constantly. In addition, Jessie is caring for Usher's seven-year-old cat, Mini.
Jessie has done an excellent job as a mother to her 15 adorable puppies.
The litter recently found in Britain is one of the largest ever seen.
The new puppies are feeding in a continuous cycle, according to a recent photograph published by SWNS. The puppies' mother, Eleanor, a mother of four from Telford, Shropshire, shared her shock when she heard scratching noises at the bottom of the stairs at 1.50am on Sunday. Jessie the dog had already given birth to one puppy under the stairs and another one on the stairs that ran away without the knowledge of its owners. Eleanor and her partner, Ian, were astonished by what they saw and decided to watch the process closely. They had not had an ultrasound scan because it was too expensive. So they were expecting six to eight puppies. When Jessie approached the sixth puppy, Eleanor told her she could stop as she had done enough.
The tiny puppies are curled up in a cozy bed made from whatever materials are available.
An organised queue is requested for those interested in acquiring the puppies as they will be up for sale in six to eight weeks. The choice of these puppies came as quite a surprise as the mother seemed to have an endless supply of new additions. The owners did not even need to help the mother during the birthing process as all the puppies came out with ease. The owners were in shock when the number of puppies reached eleven, surpassing the previous UK record of eighteen. As things were going, they feared the numbering could reach twenty, but thankfully the birthing process was over at around 8am. The smallest and largest of the puppies were named Daisy and Walter respectively, while the rest are still unnamed due to their similar appearance.
