can a female dog be bred by different males during her heat cycle and produce a puppy from each male?

Yes. I've seen females produce purebreds and mutts in the same litter. Get her spayed and this doesn't have to happen.

Yes she can have puppies from several different males. The size of the litter will depend on how many times she mated during that cycle. Usually one or two pups are produced for each mating. My female dog had three pups in her last litter and it was very clear that each one was sired by a different male. One looked like it had pit bull, one looked like it had coyote and the other looked like the male dog I have. Since then, she has been spayed. I love pups, but they are a lot of work and trying to find good homes is not an easy task. I ended up keeping two of the pups and I had them fixed as well.

Yes, she can conceive from two or more males during the heat cycle. I really can't tell from your question if you need additional information concerning this (problem)? With DNA testing, AKC will allow registration of puppies from different sires.

YES, Make sure it doesn't happen. If you have a dog who has been bred by multiple sires... take her to the vet and get her spayed to terminate the pregnancy.
Edited to add... Just for educational purposes... AKC will allow multiple sired litters to be registered. There are breeders out there that only wish to breed their b-itches once and like 2 sires so they will breed to both and DNA test the puppies to determine parentage. This practice is not very common but does happen and is accepted.

Absolutely. A dog can get bred by 10 different males and have 10 pups, one from each.

Yes, that is absolutely possible. During a heat cylcle, eggs are released sporadically for a few days, so you would breed to the same sire for several days in a row to ensure a larger litter than 1 or 2. In that case, it is possible for a male to get to a female that has already bred and fertilize a few eggs.
