General terms and specific terms are not opposites, as abstract and concrete terms are; instead, they are the different ends of a range of terms. General terms refer to groups; specific terms refer to individualsâbut there's room in between. Let's look at an example.
For medium-size dog breeds, considered a whelping box that is about 28 to 34 inches long by 28 to 34 inches deep. Large dog breeds need whelping boxes that measure about 42 to 45 inches long by 34 to 40 inches deep.
Thanks so much for the whelping box plans on your site. I used them to construct a box for our golden retriever who's due in a couple of weeks. I went with 4' per side, and cut the pig rails at a 45 degree angle rather than rabbit the joints, but we're very pleased with the end product.
