How many male dogs can get one female dog pregnant?
We own purebred pugs, and our male has been mating with our female, but our schipperke has mated with her one time anyone know if all the puppies will be pug/schipperke or just a few?
Answer:
Contrary to what many have posted, it is entirely possible for dogs and cats to bear a litter with different males responsible for puppies of the same litter. In fact, it is common, especially among cats.
It is much, much less common among humans. The doctor I work for says the Medical Journals have one instance, which was documented through genetic testing, where fraternal twin boys (one black and one white) each had different fathers. I imagine there are other cases, which were not as obvious and therefore not investigated. For instance when a woman drops two eggs, on different days and fertilized on different days, with seperate "encounters" but with the same man.
If I can find the article, I will add it to my post. (update; found it! See link below... actually several cases!)
As for your litter-to-be; I don't think you will be able to determine "pureness" of the bread without genetic testing, which will be pretty expensive. Better keep an eye on your doggies! It only takes a minute....
