I had puppies like that from a C-Section, I did the DNA on them and had to send in a 2nd sample as the normal DNA test were the same, when they went out further there was a difference in it. I used collars when tiny and chipped at 6 weeks (long before I normally do that). The DNA was sent with the chip #'s and AKC #'s for the puppies after talking with the registration department at AKC and a DR. at the DNA center. They said they see it in cows & sheep but rarely in dogs or cats. The vet that did the C-section is a fertility vet (Dr Brimacomb), she does many C-sections and said that was the 1st time she had seen 2 in one sack that both were good size and healthy. She had seen it with 1 dead or tiny that did not make it or both dead.

We had two Labs that were born in the same sack and to this day they are identical in every way. They act the same and look exactly alike to the point that when they are together you have to have collars on or have a microchip reader or someone might go home with the wrong dog and would never know it.
