The article says she is a German Shepherd.

I can believe it's a Shepherd.
A long haired white one but some how she is more cream then white, I guess it can happen.

to me she looks to have soem golden along with the shepherd... I´ve seen that page too very cool colors...

but she also seems to be a bit darker golden and have white paws... very cute indeed!!

I´d be so helpless and be "forced" to take a pup... (you know what I mean by "forced" right

)

To perhaps make things a little clearer here are three quotes from the article.

Mr Louis, who works in Easterhouse Fire Station, said: ''I was stunned. I never thought for a minute she would give birth to so many. 'An average German Shepherd litter is six to eight pups. And, as this was Lila's first litter, I was told to expect it to be smaller.''

''We had not intended Lila to have pups yet but she and our other German Shepherd, two-year-old Levi, took the matter out of our hands. When we realised she was pregnant I arranged time off work so I would be there for her labour.'

''They are all really beautiful. I wish we could keep them all. But we will be making sure they only go to good homes."
