Good to hear everything is going well. Can't see you having any problem getting rid of a bob dog.

Haven't advertised anywhere as yet. Still have to decide whether to keep one or not - depends how things go.

She's fine but gets too hot under the heat lamp so I have to turn it off when they could do with it most - at night when the central heating is off.

I don't know how large your whelping box is...but, with mine, I pull it one side so the bitch is away from direct heat but not the pups. Also I have paper under the vet bed which I put on half the box.( but it is quite large with pig rails Razz

)
I never switch off the lamp as keeping my pups warm is one of my thing. I hate seeing little babies like in some places in France ...where they are really wooly because they have needed to develop a coat.
Just try to raise the lamp a bit higger and on one side? I also find that with lots of paper on one side, they later mess on it rather than the bed Cool

My whelping box is 4 feet square and far too big at this stage so I have another box inside it to reduce the size. Prior to that the pups were getting lost. Laughing

I raised the height of the lamp last night so all is well. Belle is more comfortable now. I too use a good few layers of newspapers under the vet bed, so all in all they are quite warm enough. And I also have the bedding ion one half so they can use the newspapers to toilet on but they are not at that stage as yet. I noticed however today that they are already moving around the box. My friend who breeds Cockers came round today and was startled to find that an eye was partially open - surely it can't be yet - they aren't quite 5 days old yet! Rolling Eyes
