sandgrubber Posted January 24, 2015 Share Posted January 24, 2015 http://www.mirror.co.uk/news/weird-news/pictured-doberman-shocks-new-owner-5037275 Zara Hayes paid £450 for two-year-old mother Keela after seeing an advert saying she was 'possibly pregnant'. A newly bought pet Doberman left her owner speechless when she gave birth to 14 puppies – despite vets saying she was expecting just six. The cute pooches are thought to have broken the British record for a Doberman litter. Zara Hayes paid £450 for two-year-old mother Keela after seeing an advert saying she was "possibly pregnant". She was worried Keela would be exploited because doberman pups are often sold for more than £1,000 each. Zara, who runs dog rescue centre Yappy Ever After, rehomed the pregnant pet with "foster parent" Cat Davis, 33, in Cardiff Vets thought Keela was expecting just five or six pups so they were stunned when she gave birth to 14 – appropriately on December 14. The lively pups have now taken over Cat's terraced house and eat an 11lb bag of food between them every day. Cat, who will keep new mum Keela, said: "They've taken over my house and my life. "There isn't much space not taken up by dogs. "But it is worth it to make sure they are safe." GREAT PICTURES in the original article Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
