Welcome to YT
! I'm really glad you found us and I want/hope you get some answers and support.
I'm not a breeder, so I'll leave the expertise issues to those wonderful folks. However, I do know a lot about dog health issues (ie, in as far as a layperson goes, that is) and have seen breeding stories here at YT for 8 years now. Also, my bach degree is in Nursing, so my background is in healthcare. Anyway, that's where my opinion(s) come from on these matters....just fyi
.
I'm *VERY* scared for you. I'm very, very, very (is it obvious yet?
) scared that you are on your way to losing your girl to a pregnancy. Are you okay / prepared for this, if this happens? I just really, truly want you to ask yourself this question...and really feel this question. I don't want you lose her, bc she sounds so precious
. This was an accidental pregnancy, and there is nothing wrong with having her spayed ASAP and keeping her safe from having to go thru an already dangerous pregnancy (dangerous given her health already). You'd be doing the right thing in making this very tough decision. I'm not saying it's 'wrong' to proceed with the pregnancy -- but holy heck, if it were me...I wouldn't consider going through with it for even 1 second...I would not risk my precious baby's life.
There are incredibly skilled breeders here who have health tested and IDEAL dogs who they may breed...and even in those very ideal conditions, death and tragedy happens...we've seen it here so many time, sadly.
Please think this over very hard...I know you already have and still are....but I can't stress enough how much you're risking here.
Again, welcome to YT, and I hope you get to know a few of us here - there are some wonderful folks here
