My dog room has served as whelping room many times. The whelping box is situated in a corner with a hook on the ceiling to attach the heating lamp. The dog room is part of the house, just one step down. The bitch has a doggy door to use which also gives the growing pups training to go outside. There is a wall opening (formerly a window)to the family room where I can observe at all times without being right there. There also is a ceiling fan and enough cool air from the house if necessary. Same goes for heat. I love this room. -----Original Message----- From: showgsd-l-bounce@xxxxxxxxxxxxx [mailto:showgsd-l-bounce@xxxxxxxxxxxxx] On Behalf Of Scharo777@xxxxxxx Sent: Wednesday, June 25, 2008 7:06 PM To: dan-ann@xxxxxxxx; showgsd-l@xxxxxxxxxxxxx Subject: [ SHOWGSD-L ] Re: whelping area Fiesta's last litter was only two puppies. I threw a blanket under the kitchen table and the puppies grew up there. They were really people oriented. VBG In a message dated 6/25/2008 6:25:09 P.M.
