Rottweiler gives birth to one of Britain’s biggest ever litters after having 15 puppies !!!

A Rottweiler dog has given birth to one of Great Britan's biggest litters ever after having 15 puppies.

Owner Eleanor Usher, 47, had only expected two-year-old pet Jessie to have five pups, but was left very surprised when the dog's litter was three times bigger.
This is now Britain's second largest litter of puppies, after another Rottweiler had 18 puppies, a couple of years ago.

Mrs Usher said: 'They are absolutely adorable, it makes me smile every time that I see them.

'They've all grown a bit, and are starting to get their own distinctive personalities.

'The problem with Rottweiler pups is that they fight with one another - so there is lots of growling and noise down there during the day.




'They are starting to get their vocal cords, so the house has been a very noisy place over the last few weeks.

'Ian (Mrs Usher's husband) and I have a rota drawn up to feed the pups throughout the day and night. It's exhausting but worth it to see them.

'It's going to be very hard to see them go, but each of them will be going to a really good home.

'After the sixth puppy, I was saying: 'That's a good girl, you can stop now, you don't have to do anymore'.

'But they just kept coming and coming. We didn't even need to do anything to assist her, they were all just coming out without any need for help. She made it so easy for us.
'We just thought: 'Oh my god, when is she going to stop?'

'After the 11th, we started to look into records, and discovered that the highest in the UK was 18, and the second highest was 13.

'The way that Jessie was going, and the speed at which they were coming out of her, we were fearing that it would get as high as 20. Thankfully it was all over by about 8.00am.

'The 15th was smaller than the rest of them, and had a white mouth instead of a pink one, which was bit out of the ordinary.

'We were a bit worried about her and kept a close eye on her, but she is fine now.
'I bought a load of formula so that I could feed the puppies, but I've wasn't able too for the first few weeks because Jessie was so protective of them. She's got that natural motherly instinct.'/dailymail.co.uk/

Most Famous Myths About Dogs

1.Dogs can see only black and white?.- recent studies suggest that Dogs actually do have some color vision but it's not as bright as a human's. Dogs can distinguish blue, yellow and gray colors. They can’t discern red and green, but they can distinguish shades of gray, what allows them to see in the dark and dusk.

2.Dogs eat grass only if they’re sick?.- Dogs will sometimes eat grass if they aren’t feeling well to induce vomiting. However, more often than not, dogs just like to eat grass. Dog ancestors used to feed on grass which is likely where their taste for greens came from.



3.Dogs Age Seven Years for Every Human Year?.- Saying that a 1 year old dog is 7 in dog years doesn't make sense when you consider that dogs can reproduce well before one year of age.

4.Dog mouths are cleaner than human mouths?.-  according to scientists, dogs have just as much bacteria in their mouths as a humans, but of different varieties.

5.Wagging tail is a sign of a happy dog?.- This is not always true, tail wagging can also be a sign of fear, anxiety or impending aggression.

6.Dogs should eat bones?.- It’s believed that eating bones dogs will get a lot of vitamin D and calcium, but in fact bones can injure intestines and cause bleeding, inflammation and severe constipation.

7.Dogs hate cats?.-  this myth is false and easy to disprove. Cats have a tendency to run, dogs have a prey drive and they chase smaller things that run.

8.A little chocolate won’t hurt my dog?.- Chocolate can be toxic and life-threatening to dogs. As little as 1 ounce of dark chocolate may be enough to kill a small dog.

Why Dogs Shouldn't Eat Chocolate?

However, chocolate isn't the only food your dog should avoid. Read 'Peoples food that are dangerous for dogs' and be sure that your dog will never get access to these foods.

The Woodland, Texas (USA) - Catalina Humphrey was walking the 10 month old Rottweiler puppy Hercules on the popular Sawmill trail in the Grogan's Mill community around 4 p.m. when suddenly a man crept up from behind and grabbed her shoulder.

“I didn’t have a purse on me. I just had my workout gear on,” Humphrey said. 

“I didn’t have something that would draw me out for him to want to attack me like that. I don’t know what his intent was, but I know it wasn’t good.”

She was surprised when even at just a few months old, Hercules didn’t hesitate to protect her when the strange man appeared out of nowhere and forcefully grabbed her from behind.

The pup reacted so quickly that neither the man nor Humphrey knew what was happening. Hercules immediately attacked the man, biting him over and over again, until he managed to get up and run away.

Humphrey and Hercules sprinted home and reported the attempted attack to the police. Humphrey knows she’s lucky Hercules was there to protect her, but is still shaken by the incident. 

“To know he protected me … I am beyond grateful he did that,” Humphrey said about Hercules, who always knows when she is upset or afraid. /KHOU/

Everyday at the same time, Hachiko would wait for him at the Shibuya Station (train station), to greet him and accompany him home. The pair continued the daily routine until May 1925, when Ueno did not return. The professor had suffered a cerebral hemorrhage, while he was giving a lecture, and died without ever returning to the train station in which Hachiko would wait. But Hachiko kept returning to Shibuya Station for nine years thereafter, still waiting for his master to return at the exact time the train arrives. Hachiko died on March 8, 1935 at the age of 11 based on his date of birth. He was found on a street in Shibuya.

Willy the Rescued Rottweiler

My name is Willy, I was raised on Treasure Island. This is where i learned to fish and dig in the sand, life was really good. My dad and I moved to Ohio and we fell on bad times. We lived in motels and he ended up in jail the summer of 2008. While he was in jail I was tied up outside for a month, I got really sick and prayed my dad would come back.He did come back, we were in a car accident and he went back to jail and so did I. I had been told I was diabetic and needed pokes to make me better. Now my bones hurt too from the accident. I was in jail then I ended up in a hospital. No one knew much about me except that I need pokes. I had lost everything. I could here peoples making telephone calls about me. Heard there might be a family that would take me.
Went for a ride and stayed at a place that had lots more guys like me. Then a lady picked me up and took me for another ride. I like riding, but was it ever going to end? I just kept praying for an angel to watch over me, then i met my new mom. We spent the night someplace that had tons of pillows. I was sick all night and kept having to go out. My mom was worried. I went to another hospital and they wished my mom luck. I needed to gain at least 25lbs.
Then another ride, except this was a little different. I was in the sky looking down at the cars, water, and boats. This is when life became good again. The next stop had a huge water bowl in the front yard and lots of sand, almost like home. My new dad took me for a boat ride just like old times. My new sister was not bad looking either. Neither was my human sister she can drive and takes me for rides. The old guy, well I was told I had to be careful of him. They needed me here you should have seen their yard before I came, I am an experienced landscaper. My mom is not real pleased when I help water her flowers, if I go in the pots it doesn't make a mess right?.

It's tought to sleep here. There are coyotes and loons up all night that I like to talk with. Finally, TV again and  a decend bed. They limit how much I watch. My dad does not realize how lucky he is that I take him fishing. I can catch the lures and lick the fish clean for him.

My new uncle Jim, who figured out I like to play nose ball.

Somedays I dont feel good and dont want to eat, my dad will cook for me, my mom sits with me on the floor.

Life got better, I tried to tell them about my old life, but we just don't communicate the same. Did you check out my physique? gained the 25lbs. My prayers were answered and there were lots of angles watching over me.
