Is this her first litter? If so, her age adds a complication. Most breeders will not breed a girl for the first time after 3 years. The reasons being that the pelvic bones have set and won't have the spring to them that allows the pups to pass through the birth canal. Also, the uterus tends to thicken with each heat cycle when she isn't bred and will lose elasticity.
