The Radfords have confirmed a new addition to their growing family, with adorable photos on Instagram. While some fans have shared disappointment with expanding their brood, their matriarch, Susan, 50, has also admitted things have taken a step too far. In addition to being a mum of 22, alongside her husband, Noel, 53, they also own eight dogs. This includes border collie Lola, French bulldogs Bluebell, Ivy and Mabel, and miniature dachshunds Cookie, Minnie, Nellie and Dolly.

Despite this, Susan took to social media and revealed that they’ve added another pooch to the pack. Alongside cute photos of the puppy, the caption read: “Hi everyone, I’m Mavie. I’m a cream long-haired miniature Dachshund.” Susan, who first gave birth at age 13, confirmed: “I’m settling in really well, and everyone loves me.” Alongside their Channel 5 series, 22 Kids and Counting, the family frequently share insights into the busy lives of their pets on Instagram, including dog walks and adorable fancy dress.

Hundreds of fans took to the comments with elation for the family, as one penned: “Congratulations Sue and all the fam! Absolutely beautiful.”

Another added: “Ahhhh the beautiful big Radford family and just got bigger. Bigger community bigger love BEAUTIFUL dog.”

“She’s beautiful. Congrats on your new addition,” penned a third.

However, the post also attracted some backlash, as some questioned their choice to buy rather than adopt a dog to rehome. One asked: “Do you ever adopt instead of buying.” Another echoed: “Never rescuing dogs?”

One fan fumed: “On your platform, you should be advertising adopt don’t shop, disappointed in you always buying designer breeds, and yes, always plenty of pups in kennels and breed in their so no excuse.”

This comes just weeks after Susan opened up about visiting the grave of her late son, Alfie, who was born sleeping in 2014.

In an emotional update, the 50-year-old revealed that she never stopped grieving and admitted the grave needed to be tended to.

She shared a glimpse of the grave site, which included an ornate teddy bear attached to the headstone and multiple bouquets surrounding it.

Susan added: “Was miserable up at Alfie’s this morning and his grass really needs a good cut.” The baby was the couple’s 17th child, but sadly died after he was prematurely born at a tender 23 weeks.

Together, Susan and Noel have 22 children, ranging in age from 36 to five, and 11 grandchildren from five of their kids.
