I don't breed but, I use a heating pad in Lillie's crate at night...our bedroom gets cool...I have her bed in the crate(Lillie took over the cats...it has a hood..)so I made a pillow out of fleece and stuffed it with poly stuffing and put that in the bed so she isn't actually laying that close to the heating pad...you don't want them to get burned...this keeps her just far enough away from the heating pad so she doesn't get burnt and close enough to keep her warm...I did this with Sadie also...until she started sleeping in our bed...
My breeder also uses heating pads..just be careful with them..
