Puppy Whelping Checklist 

I'm picking up my new aussie pupper in 2 weeks and I've been super duper nervous about it! But I just found your channel and watched through all your videos and I'm feeling a lot more confident about becoming a new aussie mom :-) thank you for sharing all your knowledge on these stunning dogs!!!!

You have the best video on this checklist, great comfortable area for you and the dog...THanks

FYI: Bleach should NOT used for cleaning in puppy/ welping areas. Also do not use pine oils, phenols or quaternary ammonium products,they are leading causes of fading puppies syndrome, per Revival Aznimal health, a free veterinarian based educational/ teaching site on RU-vid. They strongly suggest using chlorhexidine products designed for instrument & kennel cleaning. They also make a dog shampoo with it and recommend the use of it prior to whelping. Wishing you all the best with your new litter!

Great video Lindsey!

Thank you do much very helpful.😊

Can you share the link to where you have that portable plug-in for the car for the puppies and heating pad that would be great

My dog will gave birth on july 2021 heheheh

I love this so much! I have a couple tips. Reptile tip: you can get a thermostat for your heating pad; this will switch it on and off depending on the temperature you set it on. Teachers tip: make copies from your book; so you only have to buy it once. We do this with coloring books.

Good Video thanks for showing. You could also use a ear thermometer. There are Special ones also usable for dogs and maybe puppy Milk as Well. I freezed some colostrum of Bitches, who had to much Milk. So when you have a weak puppy you can defreeze it and give them antibodys which are in the colostrum. I also have a Chicken heating Plate, that gives heating from above for weak puppys also nice.

I used your advice for this years litter and last years litter! Some newborn Labs are due in 6 days, And momma is swelled up. We are currently on day 57

great information. wish i viewed this before my dog gave birth haha. all went well though. but this video would have made it smoother and safer.

I’m actually getting to Australian shepherds and they’re probably gonna get both hopefully🤞🏿

I have a Mini Aussie who I got without much background on her. I think she was at the end of a heat when I got her. I've had her six weeks so far, and I'm pretty sure she's going to have puppies! I've never had an unspayed female before and I'm highly nervous. Taking her to the vet tomorrow for a checkup to see, but her nipples are bigger and belly seems bigger than when I first got her. This is the first video I've watched so far. I had planned on getting her fixed, but will wait now of course if she's having puppies. But I'm overwhelmed with how many supplies and things are needed! This would be a big expense for a one-time pregnancy. I'll be studying up on all this and watching more videos. Phew-I'm a little panicked right now.

This is the best video i found... Thank you!!

That was thorough, thank you.

That breeder’s companion book is really cool!

I have a Dalmatian Pitbull mix that we rescued someone dropped her in front of my mother's house in a ditch in my German Shepherd brought her home and she was already pregnant so we had a scare last night but hopefully tonight she'll actually be delivering so I'm so excited and I'm so happy I stumbled upon this video thank you so much for sharing your knowledge they're definitely things I need to still get but I am as prepared as I guess I'm going to be and if I do choose to breed her next 2 years I know now where to turn and where to go for information But I definitely got a lot of the things already So thank you so much for your education

It was recommended to me by vets on RU-vid to breed young and every heat, then stop. Skip first heat, then breed every heat after that for a reasonable amount of litters. This is actually the healthiest for your bitch and her puppies. Just pointing this out as she said she only breeds every two years. The reason has to do with the way their heat cycles work, and how their uterus does not work like a humans.

Great video! Thanks for sharing love the book advice

This was very helpful, thanks. Do you cut the dew claws o microchip yourself?

I love your organization!!! I had everything in a tote but and not as organized which made labor super crazy trying to find everything. Also fyi: my reproductive vet just said to use 1/4th a tums (any flavor) for the calcium and only if labor goes over 30 minutes between puppies. He said you don't need the calcium syringes as they are really expensive and tums is just as good. My girl had 8 puppies all with in 4 hours. She just popped them all out like it was nothing and all the puppies survived.

I live in Ohio and had a litter of 12 Rottweiler puppies on dec 13 of last year..we had the whelping box in our living room and had no heat light nor did I turn the temp up any higher than 74 degrees..none of our puppies died and were all okay.

Do you recommend to be off work for a month for the puppy care?! Bc I need to ask work ahead of time

What do use to wash the blankets and if you use washable puppy pads after the puppies are born. I have been following the instructions on the pads and it just isn't getting them clean. Our dam has an urge to dig and the disposable pads don't work for her. We have to be careful with blankets too because she digs around and puppies end up under the blanket. Thankfully I can be here with her almost all the time and I have a camera to keep an eye on them while I am gone. I don't leave long and it's usually between feedings so it's no likely she gets back in the box. Thanks for the video! Everyone should def follow all your tips!

Hi I have a Question, Is this a very good box for Mommy and Puppies? Also can you put any blankets Or covers in there? Since the whelping box is plastic it looks slippery

This is excellent thank you!

Thank you so much. This is helpful.

Beautiful Room for your FUR BABIES

Great video!! So cute and sweet dog!! I subscribed to you

This has been the most valuable video thank you

This is am honest question without intent to offend. But arent pregnant female dogs called bitches? She kept saying dam, or dame. Can someone explain?

I'm having a hard time finding link where u got the welping box

Hi I’m breeding mini schnauzer and I would like to know if all this would apply to them as well.

What kind of blankets do you use? Were do you buy them at?

So how do you yourself remove the Dewclaws?

What temperature should the whelping box be and room as well as the heated pad?

Hey :) what capacity are the syringes you have on hand?

I have some questions but I would rather not ask them publicly… do you have an IG so that I can inbox you , if you don’t mind
