Yes, it would have been nice to have puppies but Rosie is my priority and no doubt the pups would have been taken to the RSPCA anyway as I would struggle to rehome them and at least they can make sure they have exellent homes.
Thank you all, will definiately keep you updated.

No disrespect there, but the RSPCA are full to overflowing anyway, and if you decide to go ahead with this pregnancy then you need to be prepared to takle care of the bitch until whelping, take care of her puppies until weaning (which in the early days is a 24/7 job, can you take that time off work?), rehome the puppies carefully to the right homes and be able to take any of the puppies you have bred back at any time in their lives, should the new owners be unable to keep them.
On top of all that, it could easily cost you £2000 plus (could be double that) to rear a litter of pups properly and that is without the cost of a cesarian, the liklehood of which would be higher with this type of cross, or lost earnings.
It is nto to late to have a mis-mate jab and end the pregnancy, but you will probably need to ask your vet about this.
