Do the dams get upset if you move the whelping box around? what I mean is, if she sets up nest in one spot and I love her to our room after the pups are born would she reject the box? |
Mmmm. Yorkies are a bit different than other dogs. You do not allow them to set up nest, willy, nilly. You take control over this. A week before her first due date. Place her in the area where she is to whelp, you want her in a quiet area. This will get her ready for the task at hand; whelping and being a mom. This is for her benefit and the pups. You don't want her going into whelp and dropping the pups where ever and risking chill.
