CHANCES??? - Page 1

Thanks All Earlier I made a post and got many replies which really helped me a lot to gain great knowledge. Actually what happened is the female is a German Shepherd Dog owned by one of my friend which got mated accidently with a cross breed male(As far as he can say is the sire of the male is a street dog and the dam is a Samoyed) in the 14 days of her heat cycle. The male has some look of a German Shepherd Dog. Then what happened is he took her bitch to a pure bred showline GSD male in the 15 Days of her heat cycle and again mated her there. He is really ashamed what he has done. Finally when he cannot took much pressure on his head he wanted my suggetion what will happen with the litter. Frankly speaking I don't have much knowledge what really the litter will be. As there are many friends in this site who has vast knowledges thats why I am asking knowledgeble persons to put their commemnts which sperm the female will actually concieve in the end. First she got mated in her 14 days of heat cycle with a cross breed male and then in her 15 days of heat cycle with a pure bred German Shepherd Male. Thank You All!

doesn't matter what day she was bred - she was bred by two different males - so some of her puppies may be purebred (sired by the purebred GSD) and some of her puppies may be mixed breed. If you register AKC you could have the purebred puppies registered with DNA testing to confirm the sire. molly

Thank you Molly. But is there any thing like this that if the GSD male has a powerful sperm then the cross bred male then the litter could go on the GSD male specially. Thank You

Sure there is a chance the cross bred dogs sperm will not fertilize any eggs and they will all come out GSD's but the opposite can also take place or a mix of the both, some pure some cross. The only way to be sure of each pups paternity is to do the DNA and mark the pups with a colored collar when you do the test and until the results are found. Then you will know what pup is from what father for SURE.

Your friend cannot say with 100% accuracy that his puppies are from one sire or another without documented proof. And to try to pass certain pups off as being purebred by eye-balling it would be unethical-the eye can be wrong. If a mixed breed pup sold wrongly as a pure-bred dog was ever used for breeding and got DNAed and it didn't match the DNA of the parents, your friend will then have serious problems from the angry client(s). Before worrying about registering the puppies, if your friend will DNA the entire litter and have it checked against the registered sire's DNA, he will then know what pure-bred pups he has for sale or whatever. Having an accident like this can happen to the best of breeders accidentally and isn't an unforgivable sin. Its how you proceed and handle it that determines the level of integrity your friend has. Put your foot in a potential client's shoe in this situation-if you were in the market for a nice GSD pup and you went to your friend and paid $XXX for a mixed breed pup you thought was a pure-bred one, would you be upset? Of course you would be. So, consider. I hope it works out for your friend and feel bad for his/her situation.

You won't know anything until she has the puppies and the sires are confirmed by DNA. Any more speculation before the pups are born is just that - guessing. molly
