Meet Queeny the Dalmatian who just gave birth to 16 happy puppies, surprising Quebec familyVeterinarian says such a large litter is very rareWhen Queeny the Dalmatian went into labour on Dec. 27, her owner, Isabelle Chouinard, expected half a dozen puppies — or maybe 10 at most.With Queeny doing well and in recovery, the family has gained attention across the province with the litter being likened to the Disney classic 101 Dalmatians."You have to understand that there are not even 16 teats on a female dog, so in terms of feeding the puppies, it's a little more complex, a little more complicated," said Dubois.The family has been helping Queeny manage those complexities for the past three weeks, said Chouinard, bottle-feeding the pups formula two or three times a day.Finding the puppies good homesEver since the news got out about the adorable litter, the number of candidates looking to adopt the dogs has skyrocketed, said Chouinard."I want to make sure they find good homes so everything goes well and the puppies are not turned in to a shelter or back to my home afterward," said Chouinard."
