If you had no intentions of breeding her, I think it's still early enough that you can get her spayed with a small risk of complications. If your vet isn't confident enough to take on this spay, talk to other vets in your area. Find one that specializes in smaller breeds and see what they have to say. It's unlikely that your baby girl is even going to know what to do with puppies if she has them, are you really ready to step up and feed, clean, release their bowels, all the things momma dog does?
It doesn't sound like your vet has much experience with pregnant mothers, so I'd start looking for a new one to help you with your girls pregnancy if you choose to allow it to go through.
Ugh, are you suggesting what it sounds like you are suggesting? Maybe I am ignorant, but is this really an option? Seems like she is several weeks into this pregnancy.
