If the boxer she mated with was able to impregnate her, you will have boxer puppies. If the mutt dog was able to impregnate her, you will have mutts. if they both were able to impregnate her, you will have both boxer puppies and mutts, as the mother dog has many eggs that can be fertilized by more than one dog. You would have to do genetic testing if you really wanted to know which ones were pure, because even a mutt can look an awful lot like a certain breed. You can have several that look like Boxers but arent. If you are worried that maybe they will all be mutts, the only way that would be true is if the mutt was the only one to impregnate her. Once an egg is fertilized by one dog, it cant be fertilized by another dog. So, you can very well have both purebred and mutts from the same litter.

You can have both Boxer pups and mixed. You should have taken better care of your female while she was in season so she would not have been breed by the wrong dog. Even if they all are born and look like boxers you will have to have DNA test done on them to make sure who the father was then after the pups are wean you need to have your Boxer fixed and no more pups. Leave the breeding to the professionals who know what they need in a breeding to improve the breed and just enjoy the company of your boxer.

As someone said it is possible that she could be carrying puppies from two fathers. Of course even if one of the puppies looks extremely close to a boxer you would have to have them dna tested to make for sure they are purebred boxers. That’s if you were planning on selling them at a purebred price. Even mutts can look an awfully lot like purebreds its just depends on how their genes fall into place.

I wish these old fashioned vets would stop telling people to allow their bit*ch to have one season before spaying. It's a crock. Did this vet know your puppy is chained up outside in the yard? Most of these young bit*ches end up pregnant because the vet 'forgets' to tell the owners to be responsible and how important it is to keep the bit*ch locked inside the house while she's in season. Hence these people end up with puppies whelping puppies. How can that be healthier for the pup than having her spayed to prevent it from happening. If you left your pup outside on a chain of course a stray dog came in and got her pregnant. It's to be expected. 6ft fences won't keep male dogs out when they get the scent a bit*ch in season. I hope you have a whelping box set up in a quiet room INSIDE the house for this pup to have her puppies. Under no circumstances should she be allowed to whelp outside, kennel or no kennel. Best you be prepared to take the pup in for a C section if a pup gets stuck in the birth canal. KY jelly won't be of much help. If a pup gets stuck I hope you have $2000 set aside for a C section. Your vet won't give you a definitive answer at this stage because he/she has no more idea than you have when the puppy will whelp. The vet doesn't know what day she mated. A drop in temperature is an indication that the pups will arrive within about 24 hours. As an aside. Dogs should not be kept outside chained up. The frustration of being tethered can cause them to become aggressive. In many places there are laws that have a time limit on how many hours a dog can be chained and it some places it is against the law to chain a dog up at all.

are you saying your dog went with another boxer and a mutt it is possible for both to father the pups (some boxers some muts) the only way of telling if any look like boxer is to have them DNA tested or sell the whole litter as Xs

Some puppies can be mutts, some can be purebred. A litter of pups can have different fathers.
The only way to which pup is purebred and which is mixed is to have DNA testing done.

You will have to do DNA testing ($60+ a whack) to see which are mutts and which are purebred (if the parents were purebred) as the litter can contain puppies from both males - but since you are breeding your own b*tch to your own dog the odds that you know or care what you are doing is slim -- know you didn't want to hear that but it is the 'fact' :)

Genetics is a crap shoot when you're dealing with mixes. There is no way to predict how this litter will turn out. For all you know, the first breeding didn't take and only the mutt did.

Most likely some of them will appear mixed, but others will look like boxers. Unfortunately, because she was bred with a mutt, you cannot sell the puppies as full breeds.

When this happens you can not say what will be purbred or mutt one could look like a purebred taking after its mother and still can be mixed.
