Facts and Fallacies
- A purebred bitch is ruined when she has pups to a a mongrel or dog from another breed.
This is false. Once the bitch has had a litter, her womb is free to receive the purebreed dog at the next mating. It is a biological impossibility for the previous sire to exert any influence.
- More than one father to the litter is impossible.
No, it is quite possible. A bitch may be promiscuous during her heat cycle and different eggs within her womb may be fertilised by sperm from different dogs. The result is a mixed bag of pups.
