One sheepdog is taking a well-deserved rest after giving birth to a whole WHEELBARROW-FUL of puppies.When Star the sheepdog fell pregnant, her owners were looking forward to having some much sought-after collie pups to sell to good homes. But they never expected just how many they would end up with and were taken aback when Star produced a whopping 14 offspring. The puppies are so numerous and so boisterous their exhausted owners have to move them around in a wheelbarrow. Zoe and Marcus Hooper, from Leominster, Herefordshire, feared Star would never be able to rear what was essentially twice the average litter all in one go.But with all the puppies in good health, Star excelled as a mother and reared all 14 pups with no problems at all.
