On Sep. 29 between the hours of 10:45am and 6:22pm, Sassy gave birth
to seven tiny bundles of fur at the home of Michael Kinser,
possibly breaking the world's record for most puppies sired by a
Chihuahua in one litter.
But, hold on to your umbilical cords, because just a few days
ago, the record was broken again. ABC
7 Chicago reports that a Chihuahua named "Lucky"
just gave birth to 10 puppies in Cicero, Illinois.
"She looked like a turkey," says Lucky's guardian, Edie
Paese. "She gave to three and then maybe a half hour
later she gave to three more. And then another one and then at
one o'clock in the morning she gave birth to three more."
The father of the puppies, "Rocky", was also present at
the blessed event and reportedly went crazy celebrating every time a
puppy popped out.
"He was howling, screaming, crying. Yelling around, jumping
around he went nuts," Vito Paese describes.
All ten pups are healthy and hungry, evidently. Since mamma
Lucky only has eight "feeding stations", Ms. Paese has to
help out with a bottle when she can.

The Paese family told reporters that they intend to keep and care
for all the dogs together (as with Michael Kinser and Sassy's
bunch). So that means you'll have to go elsewhere to get your
own Chihuahua. But lucky for you, there are quite a few cuties
in shelters around North America who are looking for homes.

"I hope if dogs ever take over the world,
and they choose a king, they don't just go by size, because I bet there
are some Chihuahuas with some good ideas."

You can never have too many
pictures of Chihuahuas, I say.
Below are pictures of Sassy and her kids who were briefly the
world record holders until Lucky came along with a litter of
ten. (Photos courtesy of Michael Kinser / The
