Chars Dogs and Dog Info

A three year old Dalmatian, by the name of Button, gave birth to a huge litter of 18 puppies by Caesarean section on December 23, 2008. Button lives in the United Kingdom and this is a Dalmatian birthing record for the UK. Button is the daughter of a dog who appeared in 102 Dalmatians, the Disney movie. Last year she gave birth to 16 puppies in a litter. 

The human grandparents of the puppies feed the new pups several times a day since Button cannot handle all those pups. All of the 18 puppies are in great health and doing well. They all have new homes to go to and the human’s are going to keep one puppy from the litter. They will name their new puppy Rudolph. The family states that they do not desire to breed Button again. I guess 18 puppies this time and 16 puppies last year is enough and I don’t blame them a bit.
