I have always worried about the possible dangers with heat lamps and have always used a sturdy boiler type heater in the whelping room and adjust temp according to age, comfort level, etc. My pups have always enjoyed a water bottle or two (regularly reheated) wrapped in a towel to cuddle up to when Mom leaves the box. For those of you interested in seeing the updated pictures of my all-sable litter, now 4 weeks old, please feel free to check out my puppy page… Thanks Jill http://jurhausgsd.weebly.com/puppy-updates.html Dam: BISS, BPIS, BIM, Canadian Ch.
