The thinking on this, by majority of well known reproductive vets, is breed back to back, if you are keeping your lady in tip top shape...these breeders have to be treated like athletes...best diets, exercise, etc....It is the hormones that flood an intact, UNBRED females reproductive system, that causes all the problems and really tears our girls down. You make sure they are in the best physical and mental condition they can be in, breed them back to back, and then you spay them immediately, when you no longer want to breed them. That is what is best for the female. If you are having problems with your female, while carrying the babies, or during/after whelping, you may need to reconsider breeding that female at all.
