We also have the removable pig rails. Wood gets heavy fast and we have wheels on one side for moving the thing around. Our sides are fairly high and I have a door that opens up giving mom easy access. I don't want her jumping in and landing on a pup. Betty (Waldron) Mathena http://www.littlerivercanine.com

Here are a couple photos of it (Yeah, I know I went overboard on the toy/blanket deal <vbg>: http://farm5.static.flickr.com/4032/4486862027_fd4e2d7140_o.jpg http://farm5.static.flickr.com/4010/4487512902_69229f930c_o.jpg http://www.psychtkennel.com

Actually I went to Goodwill :-p I have to chuckle because I imagine these mothers who donate brand new fancy baby blankets to Goodwill thinking they will go to underprivileged children but instead they go to me to use as blankets for Frost's 200 crate/whelping box <vbg> I tell my friends that Frost's puppies will either be the most socialized puppies out there or the most neurotic :-p http://www.psychtkennel.com
