Are you prepared for the fact that could lose your bitch and her puppies,could you hand rear a litter if needs be,feeding every 3 hours DAY & NIGHT.
Can you afford a C-Section out of hours,it's expensive around £800-£1000,plus other expenses....
I wouldn't breed from her,I can't see any valid reason to put a bitch through whelping a first litter at six yrs old.
