The sperm will be fertile in the female for up to 7 days after mating, so yes most of the time one tie will get the bitch pregnant.

After the first mating, the male need to rest for at least 20 hours to allow his sperm to build back up before mating again.( Older Stud over 4 years old need 36 hours rest).

I personally like to get 3 ties in a 3-4 days period.
