Question
can dogs have puppies from two different males.

Answer
Thank you for your question.
Yes, it is entirely possible. Since dogs release more than one egg, there can be two different fathers.
Breeders will keep their bitch(female dog) seperated from all males unless she is being bred. Then only that one male will be allowed near her.
This also applies to cats. And I think it may happen more often in cats.

I hope I helped. If you have any more questions, I'd be glad to answer them.
