Had a debate today but unsure off the answer


Recommended Posts

Ok this will probably end up in a slagging match but should be entertaining

 

Had visitors today ( you know who you were lol ) we were talking about breeding dogs heard about some one that bred his bitch with one dog after they finished he automatically let anoher dog mount his bitch and it tied as well ,, why I woudnt understand but anyway tht was not the debate,

the debate was how would you know which dog was the father if she had pups or could they possibly be a mixture ??

Say if you only planned to breed from the bitch once then why not if there was two studs worthy of using! If the two studs were very similar you could pay for a DNA but if the two were from different lines then maybe subtle differences could be seen in the offspring.

How easy would it be to see the 'subtle differences' in say a litter of 10 pups, keep them all for months to see if any 'subtle differences' developed? But perhaps the bitch was a greyhound and one sire was a whippet and the other a minature dachshund............maybe the differences would be noticeable then at 8-10 weeks without having a yard full of pups running mad for months. I think it is a daft idea myself.

Our old spaniel bitch escaped when I was a kid and caught. The pups looked a mixture of types, some looked like lab crosses and the rest were something completely different. All were rehomed FOC, as used to be the norm with accidental litters. They lived to a good age, the last one I knew off only died about 5 years ago. :thumbs:

Dont suppose it would matter if one sire was a bullcross and the other a collie cross and you dont know which way the mother would throw

tbh if that happened to me if i bred id be devastated as it would go against everything i would breed the litter for
