First I am confused why anyone who says they don't have time to have a litter would take this as something they would like to do?
Do you realize you can loose your girl to having a litter.
After the 9 weeks and she has her pups, she can go into eclampsia, if this happens someone better be there with her and no what the warning signs are so you can help her.
Please don't think that having a litter is something to take light heartedly.
Here is a link, if you have time and care to find out what is involved before deciding to breed your girl.
There is a lot of expense and heartbreak breeders go thru.
I had a litter of Cavalier pups, and I still today over one and a half years later am taking care of one of the pups, he has heart disease, and he had a brother who also had it. I tube fed him every two hours when he was just a few weeks old. This was not only time consuming but very costly. Many breeders would have taken the back door out of it and put them down. I am responsible for bringing them into this world so I kept them and took the financial responsibility of caring for them and Cardiologists are not cheap. I lost one in January but thank god the other one is doing OK considering his heart problems.
What will you do if this happens to you and your pups?
These are real things to consider. Here is the link
Best of luck and I do hope you have time to research and think about this some more for your girls sake.
