does this happen

ok heres my offical dumb question? can or do dogs have twins like people may have twins or to be more practical quadruplets?

what are the chances of 2 or 3 dogs from one litter being identical? im pretty sure you would need dna testing to tell but have anyone ever done this?

 

Guess i don know enough about a bitches eggs to give an answer. I'd say no it doesn't happen but that's just a guess.

 

i wouldnt think its that likely to happen . you get identical twins from one egg splitting into two after it has already been fertilized. it is surely a possibility though it is rare.you can also have pups born on the same day from the same bitch that have different sires..

 

i never read about it ,,but yes and i've liked the twins better

 

i dunno about twins ,but my first dog looked exactly like his sire,same color/markings,eveything

 

geezuss have you any proof about a bitch having pups to 2 different studs on the same day im not starting its just interesting

 

i've heard of that happening, two different studs but i've never heard of twins... wouldn't they have to be born in the same sack to be twins?

 

if the studs are dna profiled you can prove which pups belong to which male

 

twins? yea it happens, read the complete game dog or CA jack book i dont remember which one, he talks about it in there. i guess its like a 1/100000 chance, but it happens.
im not sure about triplets & such.

 

sorry homer i really have no proof but i will dig some up for you somewhere. i have never witnessed it myself and only heard of it happening but i will find some proof for u

 

Dual sired litters are pretty common. The AKC allows your to breed a female to two sires and dna test each pup before registering them .

 

i think it would be pretty sweet to have twin dogs

 

ive had twin dogs and they where two in one sack both identically marked at birth but by 2yrs old one was bigger than other.

 

how was the personalities?

 

they were both simular

 

If it's possible in humans, it's possible in any other mammal.

 

My granda had a Stafford bitch that had a set of twins both times he bred her.

 

lol all the pups are twins just not identical
