Is it healthy for a dog to get pregnant again 6 months after her 1st litter ?

If the dog is in good physical condition, being pregnant again after 6 months should not pose a health risk. However, unless you intend to breed her so intensively you should consider having her spayed. If you do not want those puppies, it is possible to spay early in pregnancy without too much risk. If you intend to let her have the puppies, start now looking for homes for them.

No, it is not. A bitch needs time to recover from the demands of pregnancy, whelping, and raising a litter. She should have at least one heat in between breedings.
