will be 10 in August and running hard. thought that the burden of carrying and giving birth might be too much for her.... don't want anything to happen to her she is still my best hound..... but would like to get some pups off her

Has she been breed before? If yes, go ahead she'll be fine, If no, then that is too old to start.

yes, 2 times before...

Give it a try. She may not take, but that won't hunt anything.

Valley, I sent you a PM. I agree that as long as she's had puppies and was a good mother and is now healthy and fit she can probably have a litter.

best of luck,
