Hi, sorry if this is a stupid question but it has been on my mind all day. I read on the internet quite a long time ago that pups from the same litter can have 2 different fathers? I find this very weird and was wondering if there is any truth in this?

The mini mutt i have now, her mother mated with a grey and white dog that looks like her (mom is grey and white too). My pups dad had big ears, grey and white. Well her mom also mated with a little tan dog. Well she had her pups and they were all white and grey except for 1 female pup who was white and TAN! And all the pups have big ears, and the white and tan pup is the only one with smaller ears. Weird.

Please help!

Yes it is true. My own dog was one in a litter of eight and we are sure that there are two or more fathers present. There are definate "types" within the litter.

A breeder on another site had a female that was bred on accident by two males (all dogs were the same breed and registered) The litter was just DNA tested and indeed some of the pups were fathered by one of his males and some were fathered by the other male. The DNA records for the pups will remain on file with the registry.
Isn't it amazing what we can do these days with science?
