My Great Dane recently lost her entire litter of puppies. Would it be bad to breed her again so soon? How many litters should I let her have before it starts to affect her health?

Full Question:
I have a 4 year old Great Dane that had a litter of puppies and none of them made it so she didn't go through the feeding process. She is now healthier than she was before she had the puppies and should be going into heat again very soon. Would it be bad for her to breed again so soon? How many litters should I let her have before it starts to affect her health?

This is a question for a qualified reproduction vet. I would have a complete repro exam before breeding again, especially if I lost an entire litter from this female.

Good luck,
