Tibetan mastiff gives birth to 26 pups!

New Delhi, April 10 (ANI): A heroine Tibetan mastiff is said to have given birth to an astonishing 26 number of pups.

According to the Xinhua News Agency, the pups, born on April 6 in Mudanjiang City, Northeast China's Heilongjiang province, are all healthy, reports the China Daily.ut the number of pups born is said to be amazing, as a mastiff usually gives birth to four to eight cubs in a litter.

Dog-owner Sun Dejiang and his wife now have to subgroup the 26 cubs for nursing, fearing they might choke one another in a huddle.

The mother dog now has to breast-feed the cubs every hour.

The Tibetan mastiff is a slobbery dog with massive lion-mane-like hair and could grow up to 180 pounds (80 kilograms).

The giant dog, sometimes feisty, is a fashion of the moment in China, almost a must-have luxury for the country's ultra-rich.

Breeders here say adult Tibetan mastiffs could fetch up to tens of thousands of dollars, or even more than 100,000 dollars. (ANI)
