If you spay them before the first heat, you greatly deminish the chance for breast cancer. I would never even think of breeding Snoodles as she is only 3#1oz. I had her spayed and teeth pulled at 6 months. Of course, it is up to you and how big she gets. Myself I am too scared to even think about it even if she was bigger. I bred my poodle for the same reason you stated, and she had to have a C section. She had two pups, and I gave them to family. I wouldn't do it again.
