I do not breed but last year my daughter adopted a shi-poo and we found out she was pregnant. I used a rubbermaid container with lid side up cut a fairly large hole on the side but left a high enough lip so puppies could not get out but mom could jump in and out. When she whelped I took of the lid and had plenty of room to assist if and when needed. I placed whelping pads and pee pads on the bottom and changed regularly. Placed blankets fpr padding. It worked well for me. |
