First off you need to find out if your dog should be bred, is she an excellent example of the breed, is she AKC registered, has she been health tested has she been checked for LP if no to these questions you should not breed. If you decided to anyway the stud needs to be AKC, health checked, smaller then the female and checked for LP. If you cannot afford a c-section or x-rays that she will need to have to see how many pups she has then I would say breeding is not for you and you should get her spayed immediately. I am sure you could find another way to let your kids experience that. You should do lots and lots and lots of research before even thinking about breeding. Also be aware that your kids could experience your dog dying because something goes wrong or the pups or some of the pups dying too.
