You Would Never Guess The Breed Of These Adorable Puppies


X post in GD

http://www.wimp.com/guessbreed/

Meet Joey, a West Highland terrier. He's the proud father of 11 puppies, after somehow cross-breeding with a rottweiler double his size, named Zara. Both dogs live in the same home, but their owner Teresa Patterson didn't even know Zara was pregnant until after she'd given birth. In her own words:

I was completely shocked, I didn't think nature would let this happen but at some point it did. The puppies have a lovely temperament like their parents. They are high maintenance as they want attention all the time. One of the puppies, Sparkie, which our son is having, follows me everywhere I go. But this won't happen again - Joey will be going to the vet soon.

For Joey and the rest of the terrier breed, this kind of mating doesn't happen very often. But the results, a litter of puppies given the name "Wotties", are nothing short of adorable. Check out the photos below. (a few more photos at link)

I would hope that Zara would be going to the vet as well.

A cute bunch of pups.

Offended breeders? I'll settle for a one year moratorium on breeding. It will give rescuers a short break.
