Two of our males bred our female in heat, will the litter be viable?
Full Question:
We breed Coton de Tulear puppies. We have the mother and father. We also have a boy from the first litter. The female is in heat. We were keeping the boy separated but mother and son locked last night. The sire has locked before and after. When the female and sire mate they usually do several times. Is the litter not viable? What do I do??? ![Cindy](https://leerburg.com/Photos/articles/authors/cindyrhodes.jpg)

You'll have to have the litter DNA tested when they are born to determine parentage. It's possible you will have a multi-sired litter. It's possible for both males to get the female pregnant.
