The best advice I can give you is to research and more research. There is a lot more to breeding then just mating 2 AKC dogs. I have researched for over 7 years and just whelped my first litter 10 days ago. I think you best bet at this time would be to spay your female. Research breeding and then make a decision.
Check around here and you will find a lot us great information. I will try to find a few good links for you to read.
Also breeding is not a way to make money. I could have bought a car for the money that I already have into breeding. I just spent over 250.00 in a puppy that did not even survive. That was a very small amount compared to good breeding dogs, testing, vet visits, just too many expenses to list.
