I agree with Christina. I think it's wonderful you are wanting to give this girl a home but I think it would be stressful for her just coming from one home back to the breeder, going to your home, being bred, going back to the breeder to whelp and raise the puppies then going back to your home. My Ginger came to me just after weaning a litter. I will share her story. I in no way want to scare you away from this girl but this is what happened to me and I was very unprepared for all that happened.
Her pups were weaned and I was told it would be easier for her to come right to me. She whelped a week after the mother of my boy did. They are both from the same breeder. I didn't know much back then. I feel horrible now when I think back about how horrible that must have been for her. She was sold to someone as a pup, came back to the breeder at 1 year, had a litter at 2 1/2 and several died. She had a very hard time. Then she was sent home with me at the same time she lost her pups and her home. I don't regret taking her now and I paid 600 dolalrs for her. I wanted to give her a good home. I got her home and she was really scared. By the next day i noticed her boobies were starting to get lumpy looking and red and hot. I immediately took her to the vet. She hadn't even been home 24 hours. She was diagnosed with mastitis. I didn't know anything about mastitis in dogs. She was on antibiotics for 45 days for taht and a urinary tract infection that had her peeing vast amounts of blood, even the vet tech said OMG when she got the urine sample because there was so much blood. I had to use hot packs and milk my dog. I had to get all the infection out because the teats were blocked and it was so hard and I know i was hurting her. I would spend hours every day several times a day trying to help her and get it out. She never did stop bleeding up until she got spayed either. I had to get her healthy first though. I spent 700 dollars on her in vet bills within the first month I had her home. This was after paying for her and didn't include the spaying. I contacted the breeder and wasn't offered any compensation for any of it. I accepted the bills for myself because I had no choice and she had to get better. Of course that is not to say the breeder you are working with will not pay the bills but it was a horrifying experience and very scary. Dogs can die from mastitis, it can be a very bad infection and the teats can even swell so much they explode. And all of this was 8 weeks after whelping. There are also other dangers with the whelping itself but I don't know anything about those personally.
I would see if perhaps she would accept some money for her and you could just spay her instead. It was not something I would want to experience again.
Having said all that I really hope things work out. I know you would love to have her. If you decide to get her anyway with the breeding then it is entirely posisble everythign will be just fine and nothign ad at all will happen and that is definately what i would hope for! I do think it would be hard on her. My girl was very depressed until my boy cracker came home a week later.
I wish you the best of luck and only shared what happened to me to give you information not to scare you away. It's a hard decision.
