Hernia's in Puppies

Hi everyone,

I am just looking for some advice. I have just got a female shih tzu shes 8 weeks old. We noticed she has a hernia so asked the vets advice etc when we took her for needles. Anyway its an umbilical hernia and should hopefully go by the time she is 6 months old if not she has to have surgery to correct it. I wanted to know would I be okay top breed her if the hernia goes away? Or is this wrong to do? I have asked numerous people now ninc
