My husband and I always whelp our litters on our bed. We have a big wicker dog bed that we place on our bed and it has lots of bedding in it so it is a nice soft place for mom to have her pups. We also put disposable bed pads on top of the bedding. You can buy those disposable bed pads at Wal-mart in the area where they sell the adult diapers. It sure makes whelping less messy.
Once the mom has had all her pups then we move her and the pups to the whelping box that is setup inside a exercise pen.
