GermanShepherd1

Okay thanks guys, great responses... I think what I am seeing is a need for "options" an option for a hood, an option for a gate on the play pen, an option for clear walls or white if desired. I think I would really like it to be a made to order type thing if it was possible.. because from what I have read on many different posts everyone wants something different.. I see what your saying too "Ish" large is great but fitting it somewhere can be a problem.. I guess that's where practicality comes into it.. The floor I am really keen on getting something that the temperature can be manually changed and dual so the bitches side can be off she she doesn't overheat.. Keep the ideas coming please! And prices... what would you pay for a whelping box that was custom made, is there another company out there that does it?

Hello, This is my first time posting so I am not really sure what I am doing... I did want this in the breeders section but I don't know how... anyway... I am looking to make a heated whelping box for my german shepherd bitch when she gives birth early next year (if all goes to plan) I want to tweak the photo attached but you get the idea of what I am going for roughly I want the box to be: - raised off the ground (at least the heated part with the blue blanket) - removable safety rails - dual heating (on the blue bit) - made from a light but strong plastic - be put together and taken apart by one person so it can be stored but a sturdy design. - have an attachable play pen with clear plastic at the front so the puppies can see out when they start walking. etc etc all the normal things you want in a whelping box. Basically I want to know would you buy one of these for your bitch? why yes, why no? How much would you expect to pay? I am making this for myself but would love to know if there is a market for this king of box because personally these was none on the market that I felt were hygienic enough, heated and practical for me to put together and take apart alone... If there is anything you would love to see in a whelping box, I would love to hear. Thanks for reading
