Although litters of this size are highly rare, they are not unusual.
The birth of new baby animals is always a unique event, but as soon as this litter of puppies appeared, the master could not believe his eyes.
Kira, a huge Cane Corso, gave birth to a total of 19 puppies on the 19th of January, 2019, from Pharaoh, also born on January 19.
What an odd coincidence and an equally stark contrast to the two or three puppies that are commonly expected.
This proud mom was able to lift an entire litter, but she needed a little support to fill it up with formula as well as food.
Regardless of the great size of this family, all babies are treated with affection and close attention.
Although litters of this size are highly rare, they are not unusual.
Kira gave birth to healthy litters without complications, but smaller dogs frequently require the presence and assistance of a veterinarian.
