Yes, it is absolutely fine to breed Juno as long as she is healthy. I would have her seen by a vet first for a health check, and then at her next heat, breed her to a male that is her weight or smaller. Never breed a female to a male much larger than herself, as that leads to difficulties giving birth. I would recommend saving money just in case she does have difficulty giving birth and she needs an emergency c-section.
