Build a box for your new born puppies and mom with a rail around the inside so no puppies get stuck between mom and the pen. Very quick and easy to build and take apart for cleaning. Just put some bedding underneath and you're good to go.
Whelping Crate Supplies:
1x 4x8 plywood (smooth one side)
3x 2x4s
1.5" screws
2x hinges
1x bolt latch
1/2" screws
Tools
impact driver
Tape measure
Pencil
Straight edge/level
Skill saw
Jigsaw

Thank you for posting, it was a huge help. Our litter came yesterday and our dog was constantly laying on top of the pups. We were using a pool and I was able to build this in a half hour. It was so much safer.

What thickness would you use for a 115lb xl bully pups? Great tutorial tho, from England 🇬🇧 👍🏽👌🏽

@BigRedButtonBuilder 2 жыл бұрын

If mom isn't too rough half inch should still be ok. Doesn't hurt to bump it up a little to 5/8. Or just put a rail at the top early for extra support.

@thomaswilke6312 Жыл бұрын

Very nice! Momma dog showing up at the end of the video to test drive the finished product is a very nice touch. Looks like she approved your work of art. Why a rounded bottom door and not a straight edged door?

@BigRedButtonBuilder Жыл бұрын

I like that the rounded door has no corner to pinch pups. Plus it seems to line up better that way.

How much did this run you with everything included? Wood, screws, etc

@BigRedButtonBuilder Жыл бұрын

probably $60 but it is very dependent on wood prices at the time.

@candyontiveros2165 9 ай бұрын

Did you build a bottom for them?

@BigRedButtonBuilder 7 ай бұрын

Plywood underneath with sheets, paper or woodchips. Sod if your feeling fancy - its a LOT of work.

Is this whelping box big enough for a 95 pound Labrador Retriever?

@BigRedButtonBuilder 2 жыл бұрын

Might be a little tight for that. Same principals apply to a larger box.

U KNOW BY USING THE 2X4 INSIDE THEY WILL CHEW IT & GET SPLINTERS. I WOULD BUILD THAT ON THE OUTSIDE

I've never had that problem and getting squished by mom is a much bigger risk which is why they're in there.
