No. Just be sure that she takes care of the puppies. After a few weeks, have them all checked out (mom included) for worms. Do not be afraid to handle the puppies, be sure that Mom knows what you're doing and allows you to do so.

She will have problems, and her pups will probably be stillborn. This happened with my cocker spaniel, and the vet said it was very common for a young mother dog to completely abandon her litter.

my female dog had pups kinda young, all her pups lived, i even kept one he is 1.5 years old now.. i gave the mom away and she went on to have another healthy litter with her new family ..
just make sure to provide care for her now while she is pregnant and during and after the pups are born

If your dog's old enough to reproduce, the puppies will be fine.

I do know that your pup may not have her maternal instincts yet. Keep an eye on her and make sure she's taking care of them.

its hard to say put if your dog has been through this before andonly a fewdied then you should be alright but i personally think its to early for her to be having pups

Nah. Unlike humans, who ideally need to be emotionally and financially ready to reproduce, animals only need to be capable of it physically. They will be fine.

When it comes to dogs, barring any physical defects, old enough is old enough.

It is a possibility. It is also a possibility that she will have a difficult/complicated labor. I see high vet bills in your future.
Please spay your dog.
