Puppies/Twins??
How are there many puppies born? Are they all faternal (multiple eggs) or identical (one that copied and split) or is there a mixture of both??? Getting mised answers online, so maybe I could have a professional's point of view???

Re: Puppies/Twins??
I would think that they are faternal since they are not identical when they are born or grown up. But this is just a guess from me since I don't know much at all about dog birthing.

If it was the same egg (probably only in couples) they would be same sex and copies of each other..

So identical is not possible at all???

In theory it is..GjenetCarro wrote:So identical is not possible at all???
but since one must assume that dogs are affected by their living conditions (as are humans but we dont have as much hair hehe) are probably rare to see if dogs are identical twins
and for a whole litter are all certainly not identical twins

We have had twins before, two pups born out of the same sac..... but only ever once, they were identical (as young pups)

And treat those two impostors just the same;

And - which is more - you'll be a Man, my son!

Re: Puppies/Twins??
WOW! Only once?! Thats pretty cool though. Im thinking I should do my senior project on something with dogs, maybe the Tamaskan origions or selective breeding?? I still got time but that would impress my teachersblufawn wrote:We have had twins before, two pups born out of the same sac..... but only ever once, they were identical (as young pups)

Re: Puppies/Twins??
As far as I can read identical twins (which are the ones we are talking about since all dogs get more than one egg in the uterus and therefore all dogs are actually fraternal twins) aren't hereditary - only fraternal twins are when they are in the females family - This is in humans ofcause and can be different in dogs, but I don't think so.GjenetCarro wrote:WOW!

(my dad is a identical twin so I know a little about it, since I was hoping it might be hereditary)
