World record: Kansas dog gives birth to 11 puppies

JOHNSON COUNTY — A Kansas animal shelter is celebrating a world record.

According to Unleashed Pet Rescue and Adoption, one of their Chihuahuas surprised her foster family with 11 puppies breaking the Guinness World Records for number of puppies born to a Chihuahua.

The “mommy’ dog named Laugh out Loud was one of a herd of Chihuahuas recently rescued by the organization on an outreach call in Kansas City.

She was obviously expecting and due any minute so their Foster Manager rushed to find her a foster.

Her foster family came to the rescue and took this momma and her soon-to-be family into her home to foster.

Not long after, on none other than— National Puppy Day, “LOL” gave birth to what the shelter thought was 10 puppies.

The next day, after mom was all done and settled in with her brood, foster mom Josie got the puppies out to check genders. When she ended up with 8 boys and 3 girls, she realized something didn’t add up.

According to a Facebook post, “She quickly recounted several times and realized she was indeed correct— “LOL” had 11 puppies.

Amid some Google searches, foster Mom discovered this was a world record for a Chihuahua.

Momma “LOL” is relieved this will be her last litter ever, but is amazing us with what a wonderful momma she is. All 11 puppies are doing fantastic and have made it to 3 days old!”

Anyone interested in adopting can fill out an application on the organization’s website.
