How is it possible for more than one male dog to father puppies in the same litter?

The female dog, when she ovulates, releases a number of eggs as opposed to the single egg that a human female will typically produce. Even though each egg will only receive one sperm, the different eggs are not discriminating as to whose sperm that is. For example, perhaps a female dog in heat was impregnated by one male dog and about 80% of her eggs were fertilized. Now, let's say she has an encounter with a different male dog whose sperm fertilize the remaining eggs. Now you've got a litter of puppies with different daddies!
Say your female dog only had three puppies in her litter. Litter sizes will vary every time. This could be due to how many eggs she released, or how many sperm were successful in fertilizing the eggs. The womb is a hostile place to sperm and they do not actually survive very long inside it. If you suspect your litter of having more than one father, I'd be willing to bet it's a pretty big litter also, considering she has a better chance of a higher percentage of her eggs getting fertilized that way.

∙ 7y agoyou can breed dogs that have same Father that have different
Mother and are from different litters
Breeding 2 dogs that have the same father and different mothers is breeding HALF-siblings.
This is okay, but you should REALLY do some research on it; if you breed to closely related dogs that both have really bad faults, you will get terrible puppies.

How many puppies can a malshi have?
it depends on the size of the mother and father. if the male is smaller and the female is larger then, it is more likely to have more but small puppies. then again, if you have a small female and a large male, then it is likely to have just a couple of large puppies. i have small males and large females, so my littler are usually bigger and i love small puppies, so i can thank the dad for that. good luck!

A litter of goats is called a tower. A young goat is called a kid. A female kid is called a doeling, and an uncastrated male is called a buckling. When he's castrated, he becomes a wether.
When a female cat is impregnated by 3 male cats will the litter be big?
No. The number of male cats mating with a single female does not depict how large the litter will be - it just means that the resulting litter of kittens will likely have differing genes from one sibling to the next.
What colors are the pups of red staffy male and brindle staffy female?
This can be hard to predict without seeing the family tree of the parents. However, as dark colours are more dominant you are likely to have a mostly brindle litter. Depending on whether the mother has any red in her parentage will depend on whether any of the puppies are red like the father. Typcially, there will be one red puppy for every three brindle puppies - but I cannot be sure.

Do you separate a male dog from the female while in heat?
Unless you're intending to have a litter of puppies, it's definitely recommended.
Do dogs sometimes give birth to a litter from two studs?
Yes. In order for a female dog to become pregant, she must "tie" with the male; that is, the male's penis swells for a short time and cannot be removed from the bitch's vagina. This happens to prevent another male from successfully breeding with the female. However, a bitch is in heat for up to two weeks, and it is possible for another dog to tie with her during that time. This can result in a litter of puppies that look as if they had two different fathers, one a beagle and one a chow, for example. It is also theoretically possible for more than two male dogs to sire one litter.

If two male dog's got stuck the one female dog can the puppies come out like one dog or both dog's?
I've never heard of 2 male dogs mating one female at the same time... however it is my understanding that should a female mate with 2 different dogs during her heat it is possible that she could have puppies to both dogs, meaning her one litter of puppies could have different fathers
