What?????

Without show titles, or sieger titles or working titles how do you know that your dog/bitch is within standard and is a suitable specimen to be considered as a breeding prospect in the slightest. Yes absolutely do hip/elbow/heart and eye testing but the whole idea of entering your dog in a dog show/sieger show is to compare your dog with the competition and getting the opinion of a judge on that date.

To OP:
Your girl is a baby and you shouldn't even be considering breeding her at this age. You are risking her health and the health of the unborn puppies that she may be too immature to carry to term. For the health of your bitch I would take her the vet immediately to be spayed or perhaps get vet's advice as to the safety of drugs that can prevent pregnancy.

Do your research and health testing, enter some shows, get some education on the breed before embarking down the path of a "breeder".

I pray for your girl's sake that she was too immature to conceive at her young age!!!
