update

I posted on here a while ago about my dogs first season.......well turns out she is older than i thought for one so probably not her first season after all :/ and secondly after thinking that my neighbours dog was being kept in i let my girl out in the garden and he caught her....started seeing signs of pregnancy so we have had a trip to the vets where they scanned her and confirmed she is and she counted at least 5 puppies.....mother and babies seem very healthy so here we are on day 46!!!! i have followed all the vets advice on dog pregnancy and mum is doing great so far was really after some advice about what to let her have them in some have said just a box will be fine others a bed and some said a cage....so i am a little confused....i have everything else ready except this one last thing!!

please can i stress i did take precautions to ensure she didnt get caught (maybe as some of you will think not enough) i am not selling her pups with out thorough checks on prespective owners and will ensure that any owners will have follow ups to make sure the pups are being well cared for! the studs owner is a breeder and i have full back up from him when it comes to the pup being homed ect.

any advice anyone can give me would be great

many thanks in advance

Not something I can help with, but good luck Xx

I take it you don't have an enclosed garden then , would have thought that if you're next door neighbour is a breeder then he should have been as aware as you Well you are where you are now so hope all goes well with the pups and hope you strongly consider neutering as soon as possible
