I have hesitated to comment on this thread but here goes. I guess how we care for our dogs shows how much we love them. I just don't understand how making your dog carry litter after litter is showing that you care for her. She has had no puppyhood herself but has been pumping out puppies since she was a puppy herself! Spaying her would be the most loving thing that you could do for her. Being pregnant is no day at the beach. Maybe when you are older you will understand. At least I hope the comments here will help you to re-think what your parents are doing.
