UPI – A British service dog charity said officials were shocked when a German shepherd gave birth to a litter of 16 puppies.
The Guide Dogs National Centre, near Leamington Spa, England, said the 16-puppy litter is about twice the average number for the breed. The charity said the puppies, born to a German shepherd mother and a golden retriever father, will spend time in volunteer foster homes and will be trained as guide dogs.
