The number of pups depends on how many eggs were released by the female not on how many times she was bred. If there are two fathers, some can be from one and some from the other or they can all be from the same father. It depends on which males' sperm got to each egg first. If there are two different fathers you usually cannot register a purebred litter unless you "forget" to give that information when applying for papers- the registry will never know. It took me a while to convince my mom this could happen. And why doesn't it make sense to them, there are about 8 individual eggs in there and sperm from two males swimming around looking for them, I don't see why its hard to understand that the eggs can be fertilized by either. I hope all the pups survive and find good homes.
