no.
You should keep all other animals away, and human contact limited to a few people until the pups have been immunised.
the presence of other animals can also stress out the mother which may cause he to stop feeding.

Dogs are domesticated wolves. In the wild the father and other adult pack members would be involved with the puppies once their eyes are open and they can move around.
Two point however need to be taken into account the 1) temperament of the Father. The father will not have "special" feelings for the puppies because they are his get, so needs to have a sound temperament, and 2) the the feels of the dam in having the sire around the puppies.

Depends on if the mother dog will let the father dog close. New mother dogs can be extremely protective of their young. It also depends on father's personality and how he reacts to puppies. IF the mother dog will allow, see how he reacts with you holding a puppy for him to examine. Does he show curousity, aggression, fear?? With some dogs it's very obvious that they will get along. We have a 70+ pounder and an 8 pounder. They have always gotten along even when the 8 pounder was a pup. The big one is really just a big old puppy. On the other hand, my neighbor's really friendly dog hates puppies and small dogs. She loves everything else.
It really depends on the dogs involved.

He may not be interested unless its a girl, and I don't advise showing him the puppies unless he is a very well trained dog. He may try to bite the puppies. Male dogs usually are aggressive with other males even baby ones. Same goes for some females. Keep your mommy dog and her puppies calm and away from other people and animals. This is a very hard time for the mommy. She trusts you don't blow it. Wish I could see these little babies though. Good Luck

It's best taht the father does NOT interact with them. The mother is very rotective of her young and they may start to fight resulting in one or more babies beign hurt. The dather won;t know they are his so it's not as if his feelings will be hurt. Best to keep dad well away.

No. Let them be with their mother. Keep the male dog away until the puppies are bigger. If in doubt, DONT!

It depends. Some father dogs are gentle, but watch the first interactions carefully.
