A charity that breeds and trains guide dogs has just welcomed their largest litter in years.

Biscuit, Crumble, Bagel, Crumpet, Rye, Tiger, Pretzel, Apple, Eccles, Cocoa, Chelsea, Custard and Ginger are the new arrivals at Guide Dogs HQ in Leamington Spa.

The number 13 is known as "a bakers dozen" and as there's 13 puppies, they've all been named after yummy treats.

Now at eight weeks old, the gang will begin their journey into becoming guide dogs to help people with sight loss.

Training guide dogs is an important, but tricky business.

Not only are the pups incredibly cute, they are also incredibly expensive.

It costs about £77,000 to breed, raise and train each guide dog.

Mum Yori surprised everyone with the number of puppies she had

It means this bakers dozen is worth over £1 million!

Janine Dixon, from Guide Dogs UK, said the team had no idea that Yori had so many pups on the way.

The average litter for Guide Dogs UK is between seven and eight puppies, so this one is huge.

But it doesn't quite beat the charity's record, which was won by German Shepherd Unity, who had a record-breaking 16 puppies in 2022.
