The b*tch was probably impregnated by more than one dog. Are you aware of the following?
Are you not aware that there are 15 dogs born for every one human? http://www.charitynavigator.org/index.cfm?bay=search.cause&cgid=1&rgid=2&stid=10
Are you not aware that there are millions of dogs killed every year because of not enough homes? http://www.jour.unr.edu/outpost/voices/voi.valdyke.animal.html
Are you not aware that only 1 dog in 10 gets a permanent home? www.safehavenforcats.com/main.htm
Are you not aware that one female and her offspring can produce 67,000 dogs in just six years? http://www.metroplexanimalcoalition.com/SpayNeuter/didyouknow.html
That coupled with the health benefits of spay/neuter WHY would you breed your dog? www.sniksnak.com/benefits.html

This can be normal, as a litter of pups can have different fathers. So your dog was bred to different fathers. obviuosly, you weren't watching what was going on. I think you better go get her fixed now.

Sounds like she was bred by several different males, none of them a sheep dog.

A female dog relaeses more than one ova when its on heat. These ovum can be fertilised by as many dogs as available because unlike humans, once an ovum is fertilised it doesnt stop others from fertilisation.
So dont worry about it. If u want exclusive breeding expose it to one dog of your choice.

A female in heat can actually be impregnated by more than one male. So, the puppies in one litter can have different fathers, and have a much different appearance.

I know that sometimes kittens have different fathers, maybe it's the same with dogs

Worried? Do you know what dog fathered the pups? It is technically possible for more than one father to fertilize your dogs eggs, thus some of these pups may only be half brothers and sisters. :)

Recessed genes or different fathers. No need to worry.

LadyK: fraternal twins CAN have different fathers, yes it is possible.
