I think you have to consider a lot of things. Since the male was 6 months old, he was probably close to fully grown. She is SO tiny to have puppies, but I would speak to the vet and have him evaluate whether she could safely whelp them. C-section is not desirable, besides the costs, you need to consider if she has any health risks that would prevent her from safely undergoing anesthetic. I don't personally favor the idea of terminating a pregnancy, but that is just my beliefs and if it was going to put my girl at risk, then I would have to do it because I wouldn't let anything happen to her. That being said, I would have your vet evaluate what is best for her. Keep close eye on the size of the puppies thru an x-ray prior to her due date. I would think that the deciding factor may be whether she can safely undergo the surgery because the odds are she will need a c-section. I have one who had a c-section and came thru with flying colors, but wouldn't want her to go thru it again
