Ellie May, you took the post right out of my fingers! I was going to ask if they've had all of the blood work to rule out any type of problems w/ their pups and a vet check for any problems...not just Daisy, but the stud also, and don't you need to make sure that their parents were all okay also? Sounds like a lot of money to spend just to let her have one litter of pups. Also, there's always a chance that you could lose her during the birth, could you cope with that? She won't miss never having babies. I'm sure you'll get a lot of good advice from others about this.
