In a house full of kids and pets, one family discovered that an accidental breeding had taken place among two unlikely dogs, leading them to have nine puppies.
The family’s farm, known on Instagram as @ourblueberryacres, is home to several animals, including cats, dogs, horses and goats. Their one dog, a long-haired dachshund named Twix, was scheduled for neutering as a July 6 Instagram video with over 388,000 views and 2,730 likes explains the family is not “pro-breeding.”
However, Twix wanted to “stick it” to the family right before getting neutered. They thought they did everything to prevent Twix from getting to their Bernedoodle, Bella. But the family learned the hard way that accidents happen, and Twix’s appointment came about 10 days too late.
The family shared in a July 6 Instagram video photos of both dogs and the result of their unexpected mating. Bella birthed nine puppies, and the family wrote in the caption that they have “never seen this mix” before.
Despite the family being anti-breeding, they are trying to make the best of the “not-so-normal” situation.
Newsweek reached out to @ourblueberryacres via Instagram for additional information and comment.
An article from Dog Mixology reported that dachshund and Bernedoodle mixes are known for being friendly, loving and loyal to families. They’re highly intelligent and easy to train.
As far as appearances go, an owner could expect a medium-sized dog with a long body and short legs. Their fur coat could be black, white, brown or gray, which are present in all these puppies. And depending on the dominant traits, their fur might be curly or sleek.
A follow-up Instagram video showed the puppies, now about two weeks old, opening their eyes and beginning to take their first steps. The caption explained that all nine are healthy and have homes ready to welcome them in where they will be spayed and neutered.
Four of the nine puppies will be staying with extended family, allowing them to see how this unique mix looks when fully grown, the owners wrote in a caption.
Viewers flooded the most recent video with their awe and amazement at the puppies, calling them adorable.
“This might be the cutest genetic combo I’ve ever seen,” said one user.
Another joked: “I hope you’re calling them Darnadoodles.”
