Please don't breed her. With the issues she has, you will only be creating more dogs with problems. Breeding is done to improve the breed and it doesn't sound like Lexi would make a good contribution as far as temperament goes. She may be a great pet to you and she is a very beautiful dog, but it sounds like her temperament is not very stable and it would be very irresponsible to let her reproduce. Breeding isn't easy. It costs a lot of money to produce/take care of a healthy litter of puppies and even more for a disastrous litter. For each puppy you were to sell or place into a home, an equal number will die in a shelter because no one wanted them. You have your hands full with Lexi, you don't need a litter of little Lexi's running around causing problems. Not everyone can handle a dog like Lexi and chances are her puppies would be dumped in a shelter because the buyers couldn't handle them. Leave the breeding to the professionals and let Lexi be your baby.

Here are some websites to check out before you breed:

The first one listed has a lot of great info so you'll want to navigate through the whole site. I also highly recommend doing the "virtual breeding".
