If you plan to breed your research and learning should have begun a few years back.........not after you acquired your girl. A reputable breeder spends years of studying and pouring over pedigrees way before they even attempt to breed. Start looking for that mentor now.
In addition to what I already mentioned, when you breed you must be prepared to give up at least 12 weeks of your life. There's work prior to the breeding, care for the dam during the gestation period and care for mom and pups after the whelp.....that's when your work really begins.
Spaying her now will omitt the problem of mammary cancer and pyrometria (which is always a concern on females that are not spayed).
