Police dog Millie has ten puppies

Cumbria Constabulary are pleased to announce that one our operational dogs has gave birth to ten new springer spaniel puppies.

On Wednesday 30th October Millie, a drug detection dog, entered labour and gave birth to five dogs and five bitches. Mother and puppies are all doing well and are healthy.

Sergeant Mark Yielder, from the Cumbria Constabulary Dog Unit, said: “We are all delighted with the news that Millie has gave birth to the new puppies.

“The puppies will be brought up to the Dogs Unit at Police Headquarters and will rest in our purpose made puppy kennel. The kennel is fitted with heated lamps and whelping beds so the puppies will be as comfortable as possible.”

This is the first litter from a Cumbria Constabulary dog since 2007. It is also the first time ever that the litter will be of puppies that will become specialist operational dogs for Cumbria Constabulary.
