Dogs cant get pregnant unless they are in heat so when you breed her depends alot on her. Some dogs go into heat 6 months or as much as a year and a half old. If she goes into heat before a year old you should wait until she goes into heat again. She should be old enough soon after a year old.

Labradors (any dog for that matter) should not be bred until they reach at least 2 years old and have passed ofa requirements. Labradors often can have hereditary diseases including hip displasia. It is irresponsible to breed without that certification and irresponsible to breed a dog that doesn't fully mature until 2 years of age.
