Please tell me you are joking. I have a boxer that is pregnant and I would never breed her that many times. If you love your pet you would only breed them twice and that's skipping a couple heats in between. What you are doing to that dog is mean.

You have to wait until you have DNA tests to find out. A newborn or young puppy could look like a purebred and be a mix. You will have no way of knowing.
And a litter of pups can have more than one sire---if more than "one of the neighborhood dogs got to her first" you could have a litter with 3 or more sires.
If you had hopes of many money off this breeding, consider them gone as determining parentage of pups may cost you a few bucks.
Selling a mix as a purebred would be unethical, illegal and you could find yourself in small claims court when the toy breed you promised grows to 15 pounds and is obviously part beagle or something.
Take her to the vet and get her spayed. She's had six litters? Consider her done.

Whoa - You might want to think about slowing down there. It's VERY hard on a dog's body to have so many litters. And yes it is really possible the neighbor's dog could have gotten to her first. Intact male dogs live for female dogs in heat.

Yep.
And if you want to register any of the pups, you'll have to fill out special forms and do DNA parentage tests to determine which are sired by the stud dog and which are sired by the mutt. There's an extra fee for that.

well--first of all--a good and responsible breeder doesn't breed their dog more than 3 times. The more you breed your dog the quality of pups goes down--you are more likely to have puppies with health and inherited problems. As for your question--yes you will probably have to wait to find out after the pups are born.

That is a lot of litters for one dog. Sounds like it's time to have her fixed and adopted out to a loving home. She is not a machine!!

Do the world a favour and get your dog fixed after this litter comes.
If you were any type of reputable breeder, you wouldn't have your dog outside where other dogs "could get to her"

You could have a litter of puppies sired by two different males.

GET YOUR DOG FIXED! Do you know how many puppies and other animals are killed each year because of overpopulation and not enough homes for them??? THOUSANDS AND THOUSANDS!
And, you are ADDING to that problem!
