    YES!
    We have had several litters where a "brother and sister" definately had different fathers.

    A vet I met informally even stated that it is possible that more than one male can co-fertilize a single egg. Sounds out there to me. but look at the cats.

    I know the AKC (for dogs) state that if a female has mated to a non AKC registered male she may not be qualified to bear any AKC pups. regardless if an AKC mating occured previous or post to the non sanctioned mating.
