    How It Happens

    My father bred one of his top gun dogs (Beagle) when I was a kid, with another friend's good Beagle. Both papered. Or so he thought. The dogs were together for a few days and although they never actually saw the act, all indications were that it had occurred. Interestingly enough, the next door neighbor, a 80-ish year old Eastern European immigrant (a very cool guy actually) who spoke broken English, raised and ate rabbits and chickens, eggs and all. Grew grapes and made his own wine - u get the picture) had a very mean curly haired, black as coal dog. Butch... he bit everyone in the neighborhood at least twice (you gotta remember now young folks, the times have changed quite a bit since the 60's). One day, my Dad caught him trying to let Butch in the pen with his dog, cause Louie knew she was in heat and Butch was constantly hanging around and trying to get in the pen. My Dad, of course stopped him and said "No, Louie", "please don't do that". Louie said, "why you don't let him".... My Dad just explained that he didn't want mongrels and that he had already bred her. SO the story goes... he thought that was it and he never saw anything suspicious again. Until his dog gave birth. One (1) beautiful tri-colored Beagle and 6 Black as Coal curly curs. My Dad was soooo mad!!!!

    Yes it can, and it is.

    Copy-pasted from gemini's link:

    Q: Is it possible for one litter to contain puppies from two different male dogs?
    A: This is possible. Although each ovule can only be fertilized once, in each heat stage a lot of ovules mature, which is why it is possible for a female dog to become impregnated from several different male dogs if she has copulated with more than one. If you are intending for your female dog to become impregnated, it will be necessary to keep the dog away from other dogs until the heat stage has completely ended.

    Thank you Wolf_Q!

    Oh, wow I never knew that!!

    I believe it. It can happen with rabbits, so why not dogs? I think it's kind of irresponsible if people do that, though.

    For mixed breed dogs and purebreds that aren't breeding quality, yes.

    But most breeders do it for a good reason. If their bitch has already had two litters and they want this to be the last one, yet they have found two studs who equally balance out her faults, then they could both be bred to her this time since it will be her last litter.

    That's wrong. Don't know how to explain it... but it's wrong.

    I agree with Sunni. IMO, that's not right. There should only be ONE father to a litter.
