My pure choco liver female shihtzu gave birth yesterday to 3 healthy pups. She was stud twice first by a pure choco liver then after a week by our golden retriever. Will the physical traits of both be found in each puppy or some puppies will have the physical traits of one male and the others with the traits of the second male?

If Cookie mated with two different dogs, it's possible they both got her pregnant, meaning that some of the puppies will have physical traits of one male and the other with physical traits of the second male.
