Early Life
Birth
They were born in the Simpsons kitchen in several hours. They each had their own personalized bowl in the Simpsons kitchen. They enjoyed ripping Bart's socks to pieces, until he had to resort to wearing Lisa's socks. They also enjoyed stealing potato chips out of Homer's hands before he could eat them. Marge made the family wear flea collars because of the puppies ("Oh, it's just easier this way.") They went to the bathroom on newspapers in the kitchen, and Homer just put new newspapers over the old ones, causing the house to stink.
Being Sold
The family decided to give the puppies away after they blew their second chance, getting Homer into trouble with the IRS, US Army, and Reverend Lovejoy at a dinner party. The next day, Homer put up a sign that said "Puppies for free (or best offer)" and attempted to sell them to neighbors, but the puppies didn't like being split up. Mr. Burns offered to take all of them, but the family refused. Then he kidnapped them right from under their noses.
Burns Manor
They were taken to Burns Manor after being kidnapped. One of them stood up, which reminded him of Rory Calhoun, and he named it Little Monty. Bart and Lisa found out where the puppies where and discovered Mr. Burns giving them a bath. They thought that they might have been wrong, until hearing plan to make them into a tuxedo. Bart and Lisa attempt to rescue the puppies à la 101 Dalmatians, but are stopped by Burns in the basement. He is about to kill the dogs, except for Little Monty, who stands up and Burns knows who not to shoot. Then Bart uses a clothesline with Burns' socks hanging from it to get all of the puppies to stand up. Mr. Burns is going to kill them all, but can't. He was going to kill Bart and Lisa, but couldn't. Then he swears that he will never kill another animal that can do an amusing trick.
Racing
Once they become adults, the 25 puppies became world champions, making Mr. Burns over 10 million dollars.
Voice Actors
Frank Welker and Dan Castellaneta provided the puppies' vocal effects.
Other Puppies
Santa's Little Helper also had eight greyhound-poodle hybrid puppies in Today I Am A Clown, with Dr. Hibbert's dog, Rosa Barks. Dr. Hibbert left the puppies with the Simpsons, and they were their problem. Homer, took Santa's Little Helper to be neutered, but couldn't carry out the deed. They give the puppies away to townspeople, including Krusty, Willie, and Snake.
