Just wanted to say yes, there are risks with breeding. Yes, it is not a bad choice to spay. Yes, no testing was done, etc. which is not optimal. But if you don't want to abort, don't! This isn't a three pound dog or bred for the first time at this age or... Yes, you are risking her life (actuallybthere is even a slight risk of that with spaying), but find a great vet, follow their advice, set aside money for a possible c-section, know what to watch for, etc. Personally in this situation I'd let my dog have the puppies.
I know this won't be popular, but as long as you are doing what a vet is telling you to do and these pups don't end up in shelters then do what you think is right.
