Let me see if I have this straight. You co-own the female, right? The other owner bred her to many other males, right? Now, you're not sure if your male or one of the others sired the pups, right? Did you sign a stud certificate? Did the others sign one as well? Whoever signed the certificate of breeding, states that they witnessed the two dogs breeding. (At least in mine it does.) If your male isn't DNA tested alredy, do yourself a favor and get it done! The AKC requires you to have it done if the male sires more than 7 litters in a lifetime, or 3 litters in a calandar year, he must be DNA tested. You can go to the AKC website or call them to get the forms (919) 233-9767. There is a fee for doing the testing. You'll have to contact the AKC about that, as I'm sure it changes from year to year.

Regarding the other co-owner, I don't know who it is, nor do I care to know. That's between you and her. But, it sounds to me like you're better off without her. If she'd let "other males" breed her, it doesn't sound good. And to have her spayed without informing you first is, in my opinion, questionable. Was there a health reason to have her spayed?

This whole thing sounds pretty wierd to me.
