She is very healthy and fit, which is probably why she carried so many pups (gets a bit of venison every day as do our other 2 dogs). Over 25 years ago, our first girl had a 14-puppy litter which my wife helped feed with puppy formula. This girl is bigger and stronger. We did not breed our dogs since then, but these two dogs are tremendous shepherds both physically and personality-wise. That is why I am considering keeping a 4th dog (or maybe I am a quarter-bubble off). All the pups seem to have strong voices, and mom seems to be a natural doting mother.
