Seems like you have your hands full. Perhaps I'm wrong - but it seems like you have two females with litters - another dog in heat - and this new little girl who is in heat also. This could easily add up to 10 or 12 dogs in your house.
Plus the new little girl is now being caged all the time except for "potty trips," and you're going to go ahead and breed her hoping you'll make enough money to pay for her and a pup's injuries - also, you have considered putting her to sleep. Is this all correct?
Sounds like too much is going on for me....and, your new little female is at the bottom of the totem pole.....
I think I would try and find this little female a new loving home as soon as possible - (perhaps even get her spayed - if you are truly concerned about her caring for puppies of her own) -- and not try to get any money back by breeding her. I don't think she should be subjected to being bred and having puppies for that reason. It sounds like she would make someone a wonderful pet. I can't understand why you would even consider having her put to sleep. She's very young.
Anyway - that's what I'd do. I'd find her another home and let her enjoy a long loving life. I'm sure you'll get a lot of other suggestions.

LOL My Goodness! You make it sound like there is so much going on here and you don't even know the half of it! LOL
Yes, you have it very concisely but Tinker is not left out of the loving. She's so sweet. I am really considering going ahead and breeding her because I am hoping and praying that she will become a fully emotionally rounded pet. If she comes around I would go ahead and keep her. Like I said she's a terribly sweet dog. I threw in that I considered putting her down to see what anyone else would suggest. Like if other's had any experience with this type of problem. I am hoping to get a lot of responses saying that they have had good experiences with females making a complete turnaround. I haven't been very clear but Tinker doesn't spend all the time in the cage. We take turns letting out the dogs that get along. Most all of them do. It was only today that my little mama got at Tinker and started some trouble. We also have a fenced in area outside that Tinker gets to run around it too. Mostly she's penned up because she's in heat. The babies are in the xpen but we close them off from the area Tinker is in. Everyone here loves her, we just can't have her hurting any babies. Sylvia
