| Ankle Biter | DNA profiling multi-sired litters From Jerry's thread about his rebreed; all organizations - CKC, UKC, AKC allow multi-sired litters. Costs (no idea about the actual cost of the registration; may not be any different than what registering a single sired litter would be). But VetGen charges $60.00/animal for DNA parentage testing; with a litter of pups that could get very expensive. In horses it is often financially prudent (through the use of embryo transfer) to have a mare produce numerous offspring, by numerous sires in one fell swoop. Has anyone used the opportunity to create multisired litters on bitches that are worthy; and you don't/can't wait another breeding season to have pups? Or had it happen accidently and been pleasantly surprised by a multi-sired litter? I know it's not guaranteed like horses (since one sire may sire all; but I'm not sure about blended semen and uterine injection? Possible; not sure. Interesting to me at least.
