Birth of first-ever identical twin puppies

This is the first known birth of dogs that are identical twins.

…the results confirmed that the first two pups were genetically identical, whereas the others were only similar to the level that littermates usually are.

This is the first recorded case in the scientific literature, but does that mean it is a rare occurrence? Female dogs, known as bitches, often have several pups in each litter. Many of the pups often look strikingly similar, and DNA tests are not typically performed.
