One thing I think the person considering breeding needs to know is that not taking into account the underbite there is always a risk when breeding. Since this dog is your pet you should know that there is always a chance the bitch or the pups might not make it. This is very hard to deal with. We have never bred dogs, but we breed quarter horses and it is very difficult for my mom. My mom had a colt die a few years back of west nile and she cried for days she was so sad. and this was a horse she planned to sell once it got to year old. there is a lot of emotional stake in breeding animals and you need to be sure you're ready for that too.
My mom loves her dog (a weimeriener) and so does anyone that comes in contact with her she a wonderful pet and has amazing conformaty. Expect that she was the runt and his a tiny compared to the breed standard (she weighs about 30lbs which is about 20 lbs under the standard), my mom loves her size, but realized that even if she found a small male she could run the risk of the pups getting too big to whelp and the dog might die. My mom wasn't willing to risk losing her pet and friend. So make sure you take into consideration that risk before making your finally decision.
