Disney’s 101 Dalmatians became a reality when a Dalmatian breeder’s dog immediately gave birth to amazing puppies.
This number of puppies is almost any breeder’s dream, especially if they are all born healthy and fit. But caring for so many puppies can be difficult. This is especially true for mother dogs who have to take care of all their puppies.
One puppy, two puppies, three puppies, four puppies

Cecilia Langton Bunkergoth has been raising dogs for nearly 30 years. She gave birth to many healthy puppies. She is always determined to provide her customers with the best Dalmatian puppies. However, his business was never profit oriented because he always loved this breed.

Most of the dogs from CC Dalmatians (his breeding company) were champions and show dogs. So, he carefully selected a new mother named Miley, owned by Jade Martin, and raised her to be Astro Wonder Boy. Cecilia and Jade took great care of Miley throughout her pregnancy, including regular vet checks, during which they both announced that Miley was expecting three puppies.
Both breeders were delighted to hear the news and even the vet was shocked when the puppies appeared at Miley’s birth. The vet counted the unfaithful pups until there were 18 little Dalmatians in the room.
As Cecilia told 9News:
“We got to 16 and thought she was done after 13 and a half hours of labour […] It was quite amazing she popped out another two, making it a world record and Australian record. I was flabbergasted to see so many.”
House Of Puppies
All Jade Martin wanted was a new puppy for her daughter, Lulu, but she didn’t expect the pup to have 18 siblings.
After Lulu picked out her pup, Cecilia placed the rest of them in her breeding kennel.
All of the pooches were examined by the vet and are in perfect health. Although it was an amazing experience, both owners jokingly said they won’t do that again to Miley, even though she’s a great mom to them.
I have to admit that I have deep respect for Miley, as it surely wasn’t easy to nurse all of them, as you can see in this video:
Cecilia had great times with them, but the fun soon came to an end, as all of the puppies were sold, but they’ll always be remembered as the famous 18 pups.
