can a purebred dog have purebred puppies after a mixed breed birth?

Question

If a purebred female has puppies with a mixed breed and then later has puppies with another purebred, is there a chance she won't have purebred puppies?

I am not a breeder, I just heard that statement and wondered if that was true.

Answer 1

The breed of the puppies is determined by the breeds of the parents of that littler..
Just as if a woman had a child by one father, and her next child by another man . the children would be 1/2 brothers/sisters..the second child would not be the child from the first dad...

My mom-in-law used to believe that one MIXED litter would ruin the next litter, so I guess it is a common belief.
But, if the next dad is purebred, the pups will be too.

Answer 2

If a white woman has a baby with a black man, then get pregnant by a white man, will the baby be black? Or vice-verse with a black woman...no, the sperm are not saved for later use...that is in fish.

The puppies will be pure...some people will not purchase purebred puppies from a female having had a mixed bred litter..."why was she not watched to keep from being bred by a dog not of her breed?" This is usually because the dog is not well taken care of, and the puppies may not be healthy.

If you have a purebred female and a mixed male, get him fixed...if both are purebred, then keep them in separate pens when she is in heat (2-3 weeks).

My females were in a dog run inside of a privacy fence. My Stud fee contract also stated that the female had to be kept away from other males during the time of mating (if she did not stay at my home during the 2-3 weeks of her heat).

Answer 3

If a dog has 5 puppies, there can be 5 daddies. If you are sure she's only been with the one purebred male you'll have purebred puppies.

Answer 4

The puppies' genetics are determined by the mother and father, ergo 2 purebreds will create purebred puppies.

Answer 5

No, she's been forever tainted and should be spayed immediately.

::sigh::

Yes, she can still have purebred puppies her next litter, if she is bred to a purebred male. But the fact that you have to ask this tends to tell me that you don't know enough to be breeding in the first place. Please spay and neuter your dogs. The millions of dogs who are killed every year because they can't find homes will thank you for it.

Answer 6

Yes, the next litter will be purebred, since the mixed dog's sperm is long dead. I don't know why that old wives' tale is still hanging around. In the very old days, breeders would actually kill a female who had a mixed litter - thinking that it was permanently contaminated.

Answer 7

Yes it will be purebred. it would only e mixed if the mom wasnt a purebred

1. Not all dogs are built to be bred.

Most pets, although lovable, are not of breeding quality because they have genetic defects and other problems that should not be perpetuated. People who breed dogs for a living are very careful about choosing which dogs they will breed together based on physical characteristics and behavior. Some people decide that it would be fun to breed and just start looking for a dog that has the proper equipment and is willing. This can be a huge mistake.

2. There are already too many dogs in the world.

Breeding your pet is a serious endeavor and should not be taken lightly. There are far too many pets that end up in shelters without good homes. If your breed of dog has large litters, what will you do if you are unable to sell the puppies? Do you really want to contribute to the massive problem of pet overpopulation?

3. Dogs that aren’t neutered face serious health risks.

Consider your dog’s own health. Male dogs that are neutered are less likely to be hit by cars, because unaltered males have a very strong urge to roam and find a fertile female. Male dogs will go over or under fences, through doors and windows, and will pull leashes out of unsuspecting hands in quest of a mate.

Additionally, neutering greatly reduces the incidence of prostatic disease and eliminates testicular cancer in males, and cuts down on breast cancer in females. The possibility of uterine infections is also eliminated by spaying.

4. Female dogs used for breeding may have unwelcome visitors.

If you spay your dog, you will not have to chase persistent male dogs out of your yard. Also, you won’t have to worry about cleaning up messy heat cycles.

5. Be prepared to work like a dog when your pet goes into labor.

Many people do not realize just how much work and expense is involved with letting dogs have puppies. Getting the mother through pregnancy is the easy part, but labor is truly laborious for dog and owner alike. Dogs usually decide to have their puppies at the most inconvenient times, like 2:00 in the morning when veterinary hospitals are closed.

If your pet develops a problem during delivery, it means at least the expense of an emergency call. If the complications are life threatening, you must be prepared, especially if you have a breed of dog that has a broad head like a pug, to pay for an emergency C-section. It is very distressing to have to leave home in the middle of the night, worry about your pet, get a large veterinary bill and then try to explain to your boss why you cannot possibly come to work the next day.

6. It can be devastating when the puppies die.

There is always the prospect of the loss of some or all of the puppies. A neonatal mortality rate of 10 to 30 percent is considered normal. And, it’s easy to lose a puppy if you don’t have the experience or knowledge to care for newborns. Because puppies are not able to regulate their own body temperature initially, you may need to supplement their environment with heat.

7. Not all dogs make the best mothers.

If your female doesn’t have enough milk to feed all its puppies, or decides that feeding her offspring is not her cup of tea, it will be your responsibility to provide them with nutrition every three to four hours, round the clock. And how many mouths are there to feed?

Another aspect of puppy care that you can look forward to if your dog wants nothing to do with her brood is the manual stimulation of urination and defecation. Until puppies are three weeks old they will only void if directly stimulated. If mom isn’t doing this, you will need to take a moistened cotton ball and gently rub the urogenital area until the babes begin to urinate and pass stool. Failure to do this can result in some pretty unhappy puppies.

8. Good luck seeing a profit!

Your last responsibility before they go to a new home is to have them dewormed, vaccinated, and examined by a veterinarian. You will want to make sure that you have budgeted a sufficient amount for this purpose. Needless to say, if you decide to breed mixed breed puppies, you have no opportunity to recoup this expense.

Puppies are a lot of fun and it can be very exciting when they are born, but more often than not, owners find themselves in over their heads when they decide to endeavor into breeding.

They will definitely be purebreds. There is no chance at all that they will be mixed-breeds.

Answer 10

The second litter will be purebreds, the first won't you idiot
