Hello, it looks like your question cut off after 'getting old and before'. Killing puppies is very abnormal and may indicate either extremely poor mothering skills or even a mental disorder. I do not recommend to breed Tash again or you are likely to see that she kills all the puppies again and it is unfair to bring them into the world only to have this happen. I recommend to have Tash spayed or to keep her safely confined and kept away from any males during her estrus. Even if she is getting older, I still would not breed her. I hope this helps.
