   It is not too late to have your bitch spayed, and in fact would be safer   
   for her than would be carrying the litter to term, especially considering   
   that she is so young.   
      
   I have to wonder why your friends wanted to use your dog for breeding   
   in the first place. Undescended testicles are a genetic disorder (a   
   potentially fatal one due to the risk of cancer) and research suggests   
   that it is a recessive disorder - which means that your bitch is a   
   potential carrier of it and not a good candidate for breeding herself.   
   And needless to say, the mating with her father only increases the   
   risks to her puppies.   
      
   I'm sorry that you're in the tough position that you are. Good luck to   
   you with your difficult decision.
