Interesting Q.
If ur not breeding ur dogs, do u want to consider getting them neutered/spayed? Repro cycles are difficult on domestic animals. Think: poor female felines climbing the walls while in heat. Un-neutered males desperately seeking sex.
Non 'fixed' pets are hard on owners, too. Have you ever been 'sprayed'?
Lastly, I'm thinking how greater ur enjoyment of ur newborn will be, when u won't have to worry about puppies.
