I read somewhere that only 17% had puppies from both sires. Most are just sired by one of the two. It is very expensive also if that happens also. DNA on parents and all the puppies are required.

If it works, it comes in handy and will result in less breeding for the mother. I did this twice in the past couple of years. My dream was to have a black bitch from the black sire and a black and red bitch from Sire #2. Unfortunately, the bitch did not take. Had a friend who did one, had a litter of 8, 4 pups (all bitches) were sired by Sire 1, The remaining 4 (3girls 1 boy) were sired by Sire 2. The only drawback I see is the expense to register the dog and the DNA expense. AKC DNA is not that advance where it can tell the differences between littermates (For example, if you wanted to breed the same bitch to two brothers). This is nothing new, I think Jeef Greer tried a Dual sired litter with Ch.Yes, Virginia in the early 2000a Mike ============================================================================ POST is Copyrighted 2012.
