Two-year-old Cali, a Alapaha blue blood bulldog, has just given birth to a litter of puppies. Not one, not two, not even five or six – but 20 pups.
The lovely new mum, was predicted to just being able to bear six of them, but has managed to have nearly two dozen healthy pooches during a gruelling 24 hours, starting on Wednesday evening.‘It’s been chaotic and crazy but quite fun,’ said Cali’s owner, Amber. ‘Seeing all those puppies together has been really heartwarming and sweet – but it does test your patience sometimes.Advertisement‘That was how many I expected in my head. It happened last Wednesday. I said: “Cali looks like she’s panting a bit”.‘Within two minutes there was a puppy – and they just kept on coming. It got to the eighth one and it didn’t look like she was sIowing down.‘She calmed down a bit after the first 12 so we rushed her to the vet.
‘I’m running on empty now, but it was so worth it. Even though they are only a week old they have grown so much.’While the deaths are undoubtedly tragic , Cali is lucky to have 11 pups survive the difficult birth, explains her human.Amber said: ‘The vet said he was surprised there wasn’t more [deaths]. Cali did well to push out the ones that she did.‘I thought about going with Disney princesses for the females but after calling one of them Ariel, I decided that it didn’t really suit her.
