If you're able to share your general area, some people may be able to recommend resources. I know in my area, there is/was (I haven't checked in a while) a program where if you can raise the puppies, the local humane society will take them and spay and return Mom to you. There are also low-cost options for spay and neuter, including some free options if you meet criteria. I agree that, unfortunately, you should not keep both dogs if you can't get one spayed or neutered.

I will let others who know more about whelping and breeding fill in the blanks there, but as they have said, it's not cheap, whether everything goes well or not.

I wouldn't worry so much about the inbred factor--while the risk of terrible things goes up with inbreeding, the likelihood is still that the puppies will be fine. And lots and lots of rescue dogs are inbred, whether people know it or not, and people adopt and love them anyway.

You don't mention your dogs' breeder so I assume they are not an option, but if he or she is a good breeder, they may be a good resource, as well. You will want to read your contract to make sure that you know what it says before doing so (my contract spells out explicitly what would happen if my dog were accidentally mated), but even if the consequences are that the breeder takes mom back, you might want to consider whether it would be worth it to have mom returned to someone who knows a lot about whelping and raising puppies.

Good luck! And do try to stop beating yourself up over it--I know that's easier said than done!
