A female dog is usually most fertile 11 days following the heat cycle. The number of eggs released from the two ovaries will determine the number of eggs that may be fertilized.

After a dog mating how long does it take for eggs to mature?

Female dogs do not have mature eggs waiting for fertilization like some other animals. Instead, the eggs are released during the female's heat cycle, which can happen in response to mating. Once released, the eggs can be fertilized by sperm from the male dog.


How is it possible for more than one male dog to father puppies in the same litter?

The female dog, when she ovulates, releases a number of eggs as opposed to the single egg that a human female will typically produce. Even though each egg will only receive one sperm, the different eggs are not discriminating as to whose sperm that is. For example, perhaps a female dog in heat was impregnated by one male dog and about 80% of her eggs were fertilized. Now, let's say she has an encounter with a different male dog whose sperm fertilize the remaining eggs. Now you've got a litter of puppies with different daddies! Say your female dog only had three puppies in her litter. Litter sizes will vary every time. This could be due to how many eggs she released, or how many sperm were successful in fertilizing the eggs. The womb is a hostile place to sperm and they do not actually survive very long inside it. If you suspect your litter of having more than one father, I'd be willing to bet it's a pretty big litter also, considering she has a better chance of a higher percentage of her eggs getting fertilized that way.


What determines how many puppies a female dog will have?

How many eggs are fertilized is what determines how many puppies a female dog will have. The breed and size of the dog can also be a factor in this. Larger dogs can have more puppies, typically.


How do girl dogs have little dogs?

Girl dogs can have little dogs through the process of mating with a male dog, during which the male's sperm fertilizes the female's eggs. The fertilized eggs then develop into puppies inside the female's uterus and are born after a gestation period of about 2 months.


What if your dog eats eggs Because my dog ate two and a half eggs on Easter and they were not crushed up?

eggs are fine for dogs to eat. but I'm presuming you mean natural bird eggs and not chocolate Easter eggs?? beause that's bad. dogs can not eat chocolate and if your dog ate 2 and a half chocolate eggs you should get him to a vet immediately

How many eggs do dogs produce?

Dogs are not like chickens; they are more like people. The female dog releases an egg per uterus which can be fertilized. More eggs can be released though. They have live births and can produce up to a dozen pups at one time.


What can you do to prevent conception in a female dog that has already been inseminated?

Not all matings result in conception of offspring, so there is the possibility that no eggs will be fertilized. However, if the mating was unintentional, your veterinarian can give your female dog an injection of a "mis-mating shot", which is basically a single high dose of hormones that will usually prevent any fertilized embryos from attaching to the dog's uterine wall.


If a human uterus is injected with fertilized dog eggs will the puppies develop?

No, it is not biologically possible for puppies to develop in a human uterus. The genetic makeup and environment needed for a fertilized dog egg to develop into a puppy are not compatible with the human reproductive system.

How many times a year a Spitz dog gets heated?

The number of times a year a dog goes into "heat" or estrus depends on the dog as an individual. The breed of the dog has no bearing on how often a female dog goes into "heat". ON average female dogs go into Estrus or "heat" twice a year
