I am not interested in hearing about how much you loathe pitbulls, so please, if you do not have anything to say that directly relates to my question, do not bother saying anything at all. Thanks!

You can but you shouldn't. You should wait until she is at least 1 1/2-2 years old.
And everyone spaying and neutering their dogs will only cause extinction in the long run. How do you know that her dogs are not champions and excellent breeding potential? Yes there are lots of homeless dogs but there would be no dogs if everyone stopped breeding.

Do NOT breed any dog the first time she goes into heat. Wait until she is at least two years old, or has had at least 3 or 4 cycles. It is very unhealthy for them to be bred on their first cycle.

Under no circumstances should you breed any dog at its first heat.
No b*tch should be bred until she's had all of her health checks done: Hips (can't be done until dog is 2) heart, thyroid, eyes, etc.
No b*tch should be bred until she's been trained and shown against other examples of her breed and won her championship, or Obedience titles, or Agility titles, or some titles.
If you want to be just another backyard breeder, KNOW that you are responsble for hundreds to thousands of dogs being killed because there aren't enough good homes for them.
You should be ashamed of yourself for even contemplating breeding. Go to any animal shelter and count the pitbulls that are going to die soon. Hold them while the blue juice is injected into their veins and their life passes from them.

Nope, she is far too young to breed. Wait at very least until she is 2 years old.

At very least wait until after her 3rd heat. She is too young still.

No.
Actually, there are hundreds upon hundreds of pitbulls dying for lack of homes in every city in the U.S. right now.
Spay your pitbull and please, if you love the breed and if you love your dog, don't breed her at all.
