Take her to the vet at the signs of labor.
Pay your vet and very well I might add to do the labor for you.
Get the vet to aid in whelping or board your dog there.
Have your dog spayed prior to bringing her home.
Get the vet and or their preference in finding homes.
Be sure to have all the pups spayed and neutered after they receive their shots and ensure no more pups are produced.
Following breed standards includes responsible breeding as in breeding for a goal like your next show potential and only creating and selling the pups that aren't show quality by birth definition and conformity.
Wat titles does your dog hold the Dam ad what about the Sire: AKC registered on open registration in your name? Chic and OFA certified?
Furthermore what testing did you do on your female prior to birth was it your male that impregnated was he genetically tested as well?
That's all the help I can offer you should have assisted in several whelping and deliveries prior to considering throwing two dogs together and hoping t follow any standard otherwise it's considered BYB (back yard breeding).
Also any worth while vet would have already prepared you for such and would have asked you to bring in your female when realizing your inexperience...
Consider payment-?-pay up and be VERY thankful if you find someone IMHO you are asking for someone to run into a burning building you set on fire.
As you are saying, I hear:
I planned a demolition burn then I forgot to get out my most precious belongings
, can you go get them for me now that I poured gasoline all over and tossed a match in.
