If you don't spay, you will be raising pups unless you keep your dog indoors 24/7.
I doubt you will do that since you are looking for a farm dog.
A stray dog will eventually come along, especially when she is in heat.

The world doesn't need more dogs or cats.

If your dog lives outdoors I really think you should fix it.

If you are looking for a working farm dog, you shouldn’t plan on breeding them. The hormones can cause some issues in their behavior around you and the animals and also are more likely to attract in strays and other canines like coyotes.

what exactly are you wanting this farm dog to do? This info will be very helpful in suggesting breeds.

Also where in Indiana are you? I’d hate to suggest a breeder in northern Indiana when you in southern indiana

Please get a fixed dog.
your dog WILL get pregnant if you don't fix her. You won't even be able to take her outside with you - males will travel miles to breed with your dog. I know this because my dad's friend had exactly that happen. Males brawled outside his home for weeks because they could all smell the unspayed dog in heat.
Also, you shouldn't breed your dog in general, there are enough dogs without homes in the world already.
Good luck finding a pupper.

I plan on separating her when she is in heat.

Just enjoy life, I need her to be strong enough to fight off coyotes and that is just about it. When I say farm dog I mean dog that lives on a farm

Around Newcastle.

I have a 130 lbs dog and a .22 so there will not by any male dogs around. And maybe I could use her to lure the coyotes out? (Don't respond to that it was a joke)

i have a pitbull and shes an amazing dog, i also have 14 chickens. Shes kept a few animals off. I don't understand why you have to knock off pitbulls.

 

[Bigtom Turkey]

I don't want to start a fight but if you google "pitbull attacks" then you get some nasty things. And with the many random movements of the kids in my house it is not worth the risk.

An interesting thing about pit bulls is in years past they were called nanny dogs and were used to guard and protect children. I don't know what happened to the breed but something sure has.
