Kruser,
A whelping box is a large open-topped box that enables the dog to deliver her litter without crushing the pups.
It is usually wooden, about four feet square, with 12 - 14 inch high sides. There are usually substantial dowel rods installed about six inches up from the bottom of the box which are installed so that they are about six inches out from the sides. This allows the pups to slide (or be slidden) under the dowel rod without being laid down on by the dog.
This also contains the pups so they can't wander away from their mother until they've developed enough to jump out of the box.
Good luck with your whelping. My female boxers have had a large number of litters over the years. My current female has been spayed, and I don't plan to have any more dogs that will whelp.
