♥ Catherine My Love ♥ Donating Member | 12 babies - Largest Yorkie Litter??? Okay, I started talking about this in another thread, but thought I'd ask everyone - has anyone heard of a larger litter? Our Dam Hillary started having her babies over night last night - she had 3 outside before we knew she was whelping, and they didn't survive, but she kept having more babies all day and now has 9 living and the 3 that passed, for a total of 12 puppies (2 males, 10 females by the way - 3 females are no longer with us). They are teeny tiny right now, and the smallest one is barely hanging on, but hanging on (I am trying so hard - but I had to take a break or the stress was going to kill me). Opinions?

| How big is the mother? I have never heard of such a large litter! My German Shepherd was one of ten, and I thought that was big!!

Donating YT 10K Club Member | Oops, not a dozen...11...but way out of standard dam which probably explains so many puppies http://www.yorkietalk.com/forums/yt-...ge-litter.html I know a biewer breeder whose dog had 10 puppies this past January.
