Thank you so much for this video! We took in a stray GSD who was in heat. Never having a female dog before she was near the end of her pregnancy when we realized. We got her a vet appointment right away. We had watched this video when we had an inkling and started acquiring the supplies. We weren’t totally prepared and were waiting on some Amazon deliveries, when she whelped on my bed. Got them all (6 pups!) into this whelping box and it is working beautifully. I’m getting ready to watch your other videos now. Thanks

How many panels for a puppy pen would u need with German shorthair pointer pups
@must_love_labs3 жыл бұрын
The 8 panel pens work real well for the first 5 weeks or so. Then you can get a larger one with a taller wall and that works out good for the medium and large breeds. The small breeds can stay in the same pen all the way . If you start out with a taller wall you won’t have good access to the whelping box. 👍

One of our mother dogs digs frantically at the bottom of her whelping pen, what would you suggest to put down in that case?
@must_love_labs8 ай бұрын
Great question! That’s “nesting”behavior. In the wild she would be digging out a burrow. You can put some pet blankets or towels in there for her to play with. She’ll most likely stop it after the whelping. If not then you will just have to tidy up after her excavations! 👍
@AndrewJohnson-dq6sp8 ай бұрын
thank you for the fast reply! She tends to do it, even after the puppies are born, making it hard to put anything down in her box. We put thick carpet in there and she dug it up. I’m considering buying one of those pads that goes all the way around a plastic pool to hopefully allow her to dig without covering her puppies up. I’ve done newspaper, etc. but she just shreds everything up and then they are on the bare floor.
