whelped seventeen (17) living puppies in November last, which 
I consider something phenomenal, and would be glad to hear if 
any member of the profession has anything to report that

Mr. J. Pierrepont Morgan’s Cragston kennels that one of his 
collies had borne 27. Within a few weeks the New York daily 
papers were claiming a record for the prize-fighter Corbett’s 
setter, which had given birth to 17 pups. —Editor.]
