I ended up using the play pen and it works well.Olivia had 3 girls and a boy. I had to help her with the first who was breech and her head was stuck but i happened to be on the phone with my breeder and she talked me through it. All are doing great at 5 days old and growing well. I decided not to dock their tails. I just couldn't do it to them. I had made an appointment for the Vet to do it but since there is no health reason to dock them and I don't have show dogs, I opted out. I think they will be just adorable with their tails.I asked my customers and they want the tails too. I have a website you can go look at pictures at. not sure they will let me post it here but I will try.
