Breeding to two different males ??

Post by dave404 »

i read somewhere that if you breed a female to 2 different males within so many hrs., she will have pups sired by both males.
i was thinking if you have 2 choice studs, why not breed to 1 choice female and get pups by both, anyone with any foresight on this ?

i wouldnt recommend doing something like this, how in the world would you know the pedigree,how would you do the paper work on registration papers as far as to who the sire is especially with dna testing. you could get into some trouble just putting down a sire without any doubt in your mind. Unless you are going to register them ukc and leave the sire information as OPEN i wouldnt do anything like this.

You can breed a female to 2 males. Akc will reg. them but it is pretty expensive. I think it is around $200.00 plus you have to have pups and both sires dna. It could run into alot of money. Check AKC Website out. It will have all the information on there.

AKC & UKC will allow you to register dual sired litters, however, you will be required to DNA test every single pup plus both sires. DNA testing can cost several hundred dollars, so I wouldn't recommend breeding one bitch to two dogs unless she's an older gal and this is going to be her absolute last litter, or another scenario along those lines ...

Yes it is possible for the pups to have different sires.
The question is, what if some were good and some were bad? How would you know which pup was from which sire.
One might be a good cross, one might be a bad one.
I think I would rather know which dog sired the pups.
