English Bulldog births litter of 16 puppies - is it the largest litter the country has seen?

A dog owner from Coventry believes he could be in the record books, after his English Bulldog gave birth to a litter of sixteen puppies.

Jay Dhaliwal's three-year-old dog Gucci is recovering after giving birth to the healthy puppies last week.

The 31-year-old from Stoke Heath believes Gucci could have given birth to the most number of puppies ever born to an English Bulldog.

The dog enthusiast, who has 27 live-in dogs, has taken time off work to look after the puppies and their mother.

It's a busy household as his other dog, a Great Dane called Zara, gave birth to nine puppies of her own in the same week.

Jay has taken the heartbreaking decision not to keep the litter of English Bulldogs. He is now in the process of looking for a new home for them.
