That's a great idea! I think I'll reach out to the rescue today to see if they could possibly send the info to the new owners, I just hate not knowing how they are doing. Here are a few more pics!

Beagle, lab(if he’s big) and Aussie Shepherd

Okay, first of all the puppies are really cute! <3 I love them all.

Second of all, op said the puppies all look so different they think they had multiple fathers...is that possible?

Basically each puppy in a litter could theoretically have a different father. One individual puppy can't have more than one dad though.

Best thread! Amazingly cute pups! You made my day, OP.

A couple of the pups look like Rotties. For your sweet pup, I’m going with:

Blue Heeler
Pit
Lab

Please post more pics of your awesome doggo! <3

I’m going to add Anatolian Shepard.

Omg these puppies (and the mom!) are so cute! I have no guess on the breed, op, just wanted to say how adorable I think they are 😍

Yup! Any animal that releases multiple eggs at a time can have offspring with different fathers! There are lots of adaptations in males to try and prevent this. Boars release a sticky substance to try to plug up the cervix so other males' sperm can't get in to fertilize. Most of the cat family are induced ovulators- so the act of coitus stimulates the egg to be released. So male cats have spikes on their penises to hopefully induce the ovulation ASAP and be the only one to get the mom pregnant.

And guess what...humans can have different fathers for thier fraternal twins!!!

Olaf is flipping adorable. Thank you for sharing the photos. I'm going to say Australian Cattle Dog, some type of hound like a Bluetick and Chow.

Please follow up with the results!!

OP here. This thread has been a lot of fun! I'm glad you guys enjoyed the pictures. Wisdom Panel is currently getting the results ready, so I would think they should be available sometime soon! Here are a couple more pictures of Olaf, the beagle mix he is with is our other dog.

Thanks, OP. This is by far, the best thread on DCUM. I would have initially said there had to be cattle dog in your pup but his brothers/sisters are all so different. I think there might be a little German Shepard based on the coloring of all the siblings…

Or Newfoundland?

Mom looks a lot like my dog: Beagle, lab, and other hounds in her (mine also had a significant amount of boxer but we could see that in markings this mom doesn't have).
