There are never too many children. How a dog named Felicita got into the Russian Book of Records

Many people are proud of their pets. Felicity’s hosts are no exception. Their dog was added to the Russian Book of Records and here is why and how it happened.

The family lives in Yekaterinburg. A dog named Felicita became pregnant and her tummy was not immediately noticeable. He appeared towards the end of the pregnancy. The vet said the pregnancy went according to plan. But there was only one problem. On ultrasound, it was not clear how many puppies huddle in the belly of the mother.

The birth day came, and the owners were next to their dog. It was obvious that she was worried. Her litter consisted of 17 puppies. This allowed Felicita to become the absolute record holder among her breed in Russia. Now Felicita is officially recognized as the most prolific dog in Russia.

She managed to break the record of another mom, the dog that gave birth to 14 puppies. Veterinarians thought no one would ever beat her record. As the saying goes, never say never.

Felicity’s health is all right. The owners surrounded her with warmth and care. Puppies were born healthy. It is even difficult to understand how they fit in the womb. Veterinarians shrug. It’s a miracle. Usually dogs of this breed give birth to 2-3 puppies. Multiple pregnancy is extremely rare.

In the diet of babies, after they were 3 weeks old, they began to add complementary foods. This allows the mother to rest more. Felicita will be recovering for a long time after giving birth. Soon all tailed ones will be vaccinated. Dog owners carefully monitor the health of their pets.
