Please get your dog spayed.
How can you (or your husband) be worried about your dog's having an anesthetic to be spayed and then possibly put her through having puppies and a possible C-section - both of which are far more dangerous for her?
Having puppies for the "family experience" or for "fun" is not an acceptable reason to breed any dog. (The dog pounds are putting hundreds of little puppies to sleep because they were born for this same reason.) Why would you put any dog through this so that you can have a "fun experience?" -And, incidentally, possibly losing your little dog or having her hurt or be sick or go through a C-section and/or losing some of her little puppies or having to handfeed them to help them stay alive --- may end up not being the "fun expericence" you though it would be. At any rate, it will especially not be fun for your little mother.
Please spay your little girl and help her have a long happy life with you and your family. That is really what you want.
Dogs should not be bred for fun. Who's having the fun? - and the fun may not be fun after all.
