When my shih tzu had puppies 16 years ago( I had never bred before), I bought a book on shih tzu's and it even showed how to make a whelping box..my hubby, being as handy as he is, built one like it showed, and she was the same way when we tried putting her in it, but, when it was time to have her babies, she went to the box...we had it set up in the kitchen for her |
