Samijane,
Please visit your local shelter if you are not going to get her spayed. The decision to breed should be done after you have all the facts and a fact is there are too many dogs looking for homes.
If you really want to have the experience of puppies, check with your shelter about fostering a pregnant dog, this will give you the experience before you make the decision to put your beloved dog through this. Remember, she doesn't care if she has babies.
