Usually, people want to breed purebred dogs so they can get purebred puppies. It is not required to mate your dog, and if you don't wish to deal with pregnancy or having puppies, spaying Blacky is the better option. That said, she doesn't need to breed with a specific other breed in order to get pregnant -- any male dog that she mates with and that is intact is capable.
