It "may" have been a case she was thinking she "might" breed later down the road, then the financial problem arose and thus the situation she found herself in and due to lack of supervision (and possibly breeding knowledge) the situation happened...so regardless of her circumstances or past plans...the problem has arose and we should simply try to help not agree or disagree without the entire back story...but as stated before I don't think it's necessary for someone to post the whole (possibly long & boring) story just so those won't bash...just post the question and those with the answers should respond to just that and assume there is a credible back story in there. Just so many assumptions from the responders and seems silly to go places that may have nothing to do with the issue --- if people are going to "assume" why not assume the positive rather than the negative???

First off, I really do hope this little female has been spayed, best possible decision!
Having said that, I don't see how I could assume positives vs negatives in this situation. We are talking about a 10 month old female who is too young to have puppies and owners who are not in a financial position to take care of a pregnancy, possible c-section, etc..
The OP inquired on YT over 2 years ago about breeding, so I would say it is something they wanted to do.
If you want to breed though, you have to do your homework and education and that starts BEFORE you go and buy a female and male.
You should be reading books, working with a mentor, etc..
If they had done that and had breeder knowledge as you mentioned, then they wouldn't have found themselves in that position. One could have learned a lot in two years! JMO
