I am not understanding one part of this. Don't the breeders she got Mattie from have some sort of Spay/Neuter contract? They surely would not approve of this breeding...I do not think many reputable breeders do.
I am sure Mattie is a beautiful dog, but if she has ANY sort of health problem she should not be bred. She would need to be health-tested even if she WERE healthy and the fact that she has Entropian, one should not even think about breeding her. I am not expert on the condition, but even though cases vary depending on severity, I still do not encourage it. It could be a recessive gene, but still not worth the risk.
I am glad you are asking questions and you are concerned, though. I am glad your daughter doesn't want to be irresponsible either. I encourage you to spay her. She will NOT gain weight if given the right amount of activity.
