Prepare for your heart to melt as an owner shares the moment she opens her dog's crate, and not one, not two, but 11 puppies emerge.

The adorable video shared by Jamie Katherine Changala (@changalaaussies) has racked up 4.8 million views on TikTok.

The footage shows the puppies tumbling out of the crate and then latching onto their Australian shepherd mother for a feed. According to the Australian Shepherd Health & Genetics Institute (ASHGI), the average litter size is typically around six or seven puppies.

If an Aussie alternates between having normal-sized litters and smaller ones, and the mates involved in the smaller litters are different from those in the normal-sized litters, it may be worth testing both parents for Pelger-Huet Anomaly (PHA).

This condition causes abnormalities in blood cells, and fetuses inheriting two copies of the gene often die before birth and are reabsorbed, leading to smaller litters.

However, this isn't the case for breeder Changala, who is located in California's Central Valley. According to her Instagram bio, she is "aiming for next-level mini Aussie greatness!"

In 2023, they were voted the 12th most popular breed in the United States, according to the American Kennel Club (AKC). The purebred registry notes that these dogs are beloved by many, such as American ranchers who admired their exceptional herding skills. The breed gained widespread popularity due to its frequent appearances in rodeos. Aussies not only helped herd bulls but also showcased their ability to perform tricks.

The AKC also states that Native Americans referred to Australian shepherds as "ghost eye" and considered them sacred. While not all Aussies have blue eyes, the breed is known for frequently having pale, "ghost-like" blue eyes.

It isn't uncommon for Aussies to have different-colored eyes, a condition called heterochromia. This might be a combination of brown, blue, hazel, amber, or green eyes. Some Aussies even display more than one color within the same eye.

In this instance, viewers have been won over by the pups without even seeing their eyes. So far, the clip has over 506,000 likes and more than 1,670 comments.

"Not one of them had a graceful exit," said one user, and another wrote: "Love how they just plop out," a popular comment with over 29,000 likes.

"Love how the one in the back was staring off into space," said another comment with more than 47,000 likes.

A fourth commenter pointed out: "The last one is an introvert," while a fifth user compared the clip to a "potato waterfall."
