A dog Jenny gave birth to 16 puppies (nine males and seven females) in Kolkata. The puppies were delivered by Caesarian operation. This litter of the Golden Retriever is believed to be one of the largest in India. A Golden Retriever costs around Rs 9,000 in Calcutta. Earlier there was another litter of 16 pups reported from the US. The Guinness world record for the largest litter is, however, held by a Neapolitan Mastiff that gave birth to 24 pups in 2005.
