Absolutely she can be spayed.
There is a saying that goes like this; Ignorance of the law, is no defense under the law.
In terms of breeding and having in your care not one but 2 intact females, there is simply no excuse for the following:
1) Bringing not one but two females that were in heat over to a house that not only had: a) an intact male but b) one that is very closely related to the females.
2) Knowing your females were in heat, allowing first the Mother to play with the son off lead, un-supervised in the backyard. And you are surprised that they tied?
3) If you did not know they were in heat? Why not, it is your responsibility as a dog owner who elects to keep intact females to know when they come into heat, and to properly safeguard them from inadvertent breedings. If you are not sure, always err on the side of caution. That is assume that they are and protect them appropriately.
