Title: whelping house(1 pic added)
Post by: Dexter on March 04, 2010, 07:45:51 am
 heres a 4 x 4 whelping house  I built   what do yall think about it
  it still need a vent in the back 6" x 2'   and a 1" x 6" ledge to keep the pups from getting squished

Looks good.I try to have pups only in the winter.Makes fighting the heat,and bugs so much easier.Its easier for me to keep them warm than keep pups cool.

Dex, the pics are missing but if I remember seeing them on the first one w/ metal sides maybe IMO you should put a 6"peice of plywood on the side so if it is cold a pup can'tget up against the cold metal?? or maybe you already thought of that.....
