From a reputable breeder standpoint.....Please spay or neuter these puppies ASAP. Breeding dogs takes a lot of research to make sure genetic disorders, temperment and overall breed standards are met. Health clearances are mandatory. If you can not provide any of this, then you should NOT breed and yes....I would consider you a backyard breeder in it strictly for the money!!

Unfortunately, your Anya died of a very serious disease. However at 5 months she should of had the proper shots to prevent this deadly disease from killing her. If you can't afford to get the dogs shots, you can't afford to breed them.

I have a very close friend who is also a reputable breeder. She spent a lot of money making sure everything was done correctly. Unfortunately, her female died after an emergency C-section was done to deliver the pups when complications arose. She was now faced with 9 pups without a mom to feed them. The time and money she was faced with to help those pups survive was staggering. While this is not normal, it is a possiblity. Any reputable breeder doesn't consider the cost though. They consider the well being of the pups. Again, please spay or neuter these pups ASAP as I do not feel from your posts that you are capable of providing the expense to make sure the breeding is done correctly let alone the fact that these pups are not pure bred to start with!
