I have always used the kids plastic pool. It it round, so the bitch would have a hard time crushing a puppy by laying to tightly next to the puppy, if it went behind her back. The pool is very easy to clean and disinfect. You do not have to worry about bitches toenails puncturing it. Angie Martin Charan GSD's Home of 08 So.
