The whelping box is set up in a "private" room for the mother and puppies.
After about four weeks of age, the puppies move into a box full of all "natural" wood shavings. This is where the puppies sleep at night.
During the day the puppies have plenty of free time in a big open and spacious play area with plenty of toys. This area is puppy proof with a linoleum floor, which is easy to keep clean. The pups are handled and socialized.

In the summer months we have a spacious clean fenced area for the puppies to play and run.
