The Black couple have fostered over 20 dogs, so when they came across a very pregnant Golden Retriever, they were more than excited to welcome her puppies.

Katie and John Blacks welcomed pregnant Rosie, who was previously staying at Neuse River Golden Retriever Rescue.

By the time Rosie began living with the couple, her due date was approaching.

When she gave birth to her puppies, Katie and John were delighted to see them, but they never expected there to be a little surprise in the package.

Rosie gave birth to four puppies. They were super adorable but the puppies looked nothing like their mother.

With black spots all over their white fur, the puppies looked more like baby cows than Golden Retriever puppies.

While everyone was surprised by the striking appearance of the newborn puppies, Rosie didn’t seem to mind.

The couple then named the four puppies Daisy, Clarabelle, Betsy and Moo, inspired by their unique appearance.

Although Rosie’s story may be quite surprising, it is common for puppies to look nothing like their parents.

According to The Nest, while it is true that a puppy will inherit traits from both parents, the possibility of it looking like either of its parents depends on the genes carried by each parent.

“Dominant genes always outweigh recessive genes and decide what traits your puppy will exhibit as part of his physical appearance,” according to the Australian Shepherd Health & Genetics Institute.

Of course, none of that matters to Rosie who is enjoying motherhood. “She is a proud mom,” Katie said.
