well, i'm not going to worry too much about dna tests. i havent even decided
if i'm going to register the litter. i think i'll sell the ones i'm sure are
pure bred as unregistered chihuahuas and the ones i'm not sure on i'll call
mutts. course there will be some that are obvious mutts , and well, i'll call
them mutts too, lol. the silly thing is i'll probably get more for the
"designer" shi chis than i will the pure ones. my biggest concern is knowing
which is which as soon as possible. i love being able to take payments and i
usually start advertising them at 2 or 3 weeks old so people with tight budgets
can put them on "layaway". i live right in the middle of the bible belt (in
MO) and honestly its more appropriately called the poverty belt. no offense to
my wonderful state, but its true. so if i want to sell locally, and i really
do, i have to make it obtainable to locals. anyway, i'm off subject.
i am excited about having puppies, but on the same token, i'm not very fond
of breeding designer dogs. i prefer to stick to purebreds and attempt to
improve the breed with every litter instead of mixing them all up... just my
take on it.
but i will love my puppies no matter what and someone will take them and make
them apart of their family and love them too and thats what counts. :)
blessings,
heather

Jumping in on the tail end of all this discussion, Em is right, a pup can
only have one father, but a multi pup litter can be sired by more than one
father. The AKC does allow multiple sire registration, but I THINK they
require DNA to see which father goes with which pup....It can become expensive,
but in fact many top show breeders do intentionally do this in order to get
pups from different ch. sires. If the sires are dna'd (and most champion sires
are) then it is just a matter of them dnaing each pup, matching the pups to the
dads and paying the multiple sire registration fees. Each pup only has one
sire, but littermates can have multiple sires.

Only one sperm can fertilize an egg. So the dog with either be from one
sire or another. Once the sperm penetrate the outer layer of the egg, the egg
creates a chemical layer that does not allow another sperm to penetrate. - em J

Heather,
From reading on the subject, the female puts out egg and if more than one
dog fertilizes that egg they are a little of both, if the dog goes 24 hours
between males then that eggs is put away and another comes out and a dog
fertilizes that one. Even the AKC has said they will paper dogs that multiple
male partners as long as they are not mixed but separate. Like you put sofy
with Bonzo on Monday then with BooBoo on Wednesday. You'll have two different
breeds and they will register them.

ya, that was a big definate oops, but i couldnt abort them like
everyone was telling me to do. i'm sure i can find good homes for them and
sell the purebred chihuahuas out of that same litter as unregistered... just in
case i'm not sure if theyre pure or not. i wonder if i'll be able to tell
right away, or as they get older?
