You got it right FM, 9 healthy pups. Momma simply had them on the bed unannounced which she isn't allowed on. I don't think they were even aware she was pregnant since the male is just over 7 months old. Both the male and the female are both very gentle dogs even though they are both pit bulls. He also has a couple of cats that have even been around the puppies with out mama going all postal on them.
awww, pits are the best dogs in the right hands.
That might be why he has 5 kids of his own.
