Sorry, but the idea that a female has to be bred is one of those "doghouse
legends" (doggie world equivalent of urban legends) that people come up
with.  We have known personally four females that had all been spayed prior
to ever having a litter, and they have all been well mannered, and healthy
mature dogs.  There is nothing wrong with wanting to breed your girl -- if
she will contribute something positive to the breed.  However, many people
breed for the wrong reasons.
