Box is going up

Korbel's whelping box is going up. It takes a full day to get the room ready and the box up. It is 4' by 4' and the sides are 2' high. Walls are made of laminate shelving for easy cleaning. A door in the front swings down for Korbel to easily step over while the puppies are small. Notice the pipes that go around the bottom. This is sometimes referred to as a roll bar or a pig rail. It is elevated off the floor just enough for a puppy to fit underneath and helps prevent the mother from accidentally laying down with a puppy between her and the side of the box. This way the puppy will be able to crawl out and around to safety. The floor in the room is tile, but is covered with vinyl for easy clean up. Lots of towels will be on the floor for delivery, to be replaced by rugs once the puppies are born.
