You can make a good whelping box with one new clean sheet of plywood plus a few scraps.
4x4 floor setting on styrafoam to keep it off the floor and warm, 3 4'x18" sides from the rest of the sheet for 3 sides of the box, then a 2x8 across the 4th side so the mamma can hop in and out to go potty, but the puppies can't get out for the first several weeks.
Put a rail around the inside, so the puppies can crawl back under the rail but the rail keeps the mamma off the babies. The dowel idea works well.
Hang a light bulb over the box for heat (85F max)and cover the floor with newspaper, lots of newspaper, layed out flat so you can just roll it up and throw it away
I screw the sides together with galvanized angle brackets, easy to assemble and disassemble.
Good luck and sell them at 7 weeks, that is 3 weeks after they become poop machines.
