canine herpes virus

Does anybody have any experience with this? I have a female who was pregnant one time with a puppy that died shortly after birth. Her titer came back at 1024, active herpes, right? We rebred and while she seemed to be in whelp, poor vet equipment made it really difficult to tell. She SEEMED to be and we did the c-section on the appropriate day. The vet evacuated "goop" (his word). He told us that she was textbook CHV and would never be able to breed. Prior to her spay, we took her to a reproductive vet who seems to feel, based on cytology, that she may not be herpes positive at all. He felt that her elevated titer was the result of exposure and that regardless of the high number, her immune system would compensate.
This is supposed to be very common in dogs, so common that the FDA has declined to approve the vaccine available in Europe.
Does anyone have any experience breeding a female with an elevated titer?
Thanks,
