You obtained your little girl from a situation that was not the best to get started. You had been warned prior to obtaining her. What you paid for her is average for a pet quality female, not a show/breeding quality. So, my advice is to spay her and love her.
The purchase price for a show dog is not the bottom line..there is also the cost of having them tested to insure that they are healthy to breed. Being told by the breeder that her lines are good enough to breed just doesn't cut it. Each dog within that pedigree should be researched. No reputable breeder would sell a show dog, especially a female to someone sight unseen.
There is a multitude of information on the net on how to find a mentor, purchase a show dog, etc....let your fingers do the walking. The journey is a tough one. It'll take your desire to learn, listen and put in a lot of time.
One does not buy a show dog over the internet after a few phone calls with a breeder that was picked because of a nice website. Anyone can put up a nice website.
