This is a "do it yourself" instructional video for people wanting to make an affordable whelping box for their pregnant dogs. It's fun and easy to make. Follow my channel for videos when the puppies come in just a few short weeks!

I am SOOO glad I found this video. Our Daniff is expecting in a week or two and we’ve never done this before. She loves it!

Thanks. I was wondering how space you gave for the pig rails. I have a larger breed.

My Samoyed had her litter on Jan 8th. 2 Girls and 3 Boys. Mom and babies are all healthy doing fantastic. She loves her DYI pen which gives lots of room. I've used the expensive pens and this DYI rocks.

Should the whelping box be set up in the bedroom? My dog sleeps in the bedroom with me so I imagine that would be the most comfortable place for her. I have another dog though, so I'm conflicted she might need her own space

@MaddiesLabradors 3 жыл бұрын

Some people do it in their closet, or separate bedroom, kitchen area blocked off. You should definitely keep your doggo's separated because she will be protective and stressed if she doesn't have her own space!

I would recommend melting holes for the Pigrail, rather than drilling. Done carefully they have a thicker, reinforced edge, free of microfractures.

@MaddiesLabradors 3 жыл бұрын

Yes, Maddie was about 90-95 pounds right before birth. They stayed in here until they were about 3 weeks old and then i switched them into an actual area confined in a puppy pen. Let mom in and out for feedings.

My lab is a high strung and high drive lab from feild lines and can run circles around my Belgian malinois. She and her pups cannot be pet dogs. Working and sport only with experienced owners. Hope she can be ok with this set up without destroying it 😂

@MaddiesLabradors 4 жыл бұрын

This is called "pig rail", its so the puppies are not squished by mama, when she lays down sometimes puppies get stuck under her and can suffocate so the pig rail leaves room around the entire box for a puppy to be able to breathe in case this happens

What are the noodles for

@MaddiesLabradors 3 жыл бұрын

Sometimes the mom can accidentally sit on the babies or push them to the side unintentionally. The noodles are if the puppies get squished by mama, it basically gives them room to breathe, move if this happens against the side wall.

@MaddiesLabradors 3 жыл бұрын

They are called “piggy rails”
