At Whiskey Mountain Labradors, we strive to produce the healthiest puppies we can which means continuing healthy living when they arrive with their new families. For local puppy owners, we provide free puppy wellness exams that will cover all of their core vaccines (Distemper, parvovirus, leptospirosis, and rabies) as well as continued deworming and fecal exams. These exams will be done at Sequoyah Animal Hospital at specific times to be discussed with puppy owner. 

All of the puppies come with:

  1. First vaccines at 6 weeks old given by a veterinarian
    1. DAPP (distemper, adenovirus, parvovirus, parainfluenza)
  2. Microchipping
  3. AKC limited registration:
  4. First dose of heartworm and tick prevention
  5. Toys and blanket that have been with litter/mom to ensure a smoother transition to the new home
  6. Dewormer
  7. Veterinary record and health guarantee
  8. Copy of contract that includes health guarantee
  9. Sample of food to help them transition to food of your choice. 
  10. Binder to keep all the information together including tips on training, health information, etc. 

ENS and ESI

All puppies are handled from birth and receive Early Neurological Stimulation and Early Scent Introduction to ensure that the puppy has the best chances if being used for hunting, working, service, etc. 

ENS (Early Neurological Stimulation) is a series of exercises done on days 3 through 16 of puppyhood that jump starts the puppies nervous system. Research has shown that puppies that have received ENS have improved performance later in life in terms of workability. Other benefits of ENS include improved cardio-vascular performance (heart rate); stronger heart beats; stronger adrenal glands; more tolerance to stress; and greater resistance to disease. In tests of learning, ENS stimulated pups were more active and exploratory than their non- stimulated littermates. You can find more information about ENS through the AKC website.

ESI (Early Scent Introduction) similarly is an exercise completed day 3-16 that enhances a dogs potential in scent related tasks/jobs/events. "Compared to the non-ESI cohorts, pups that had Early Scent Introduction had more scent accomplishments and more of those accomplishments are in the higher complexity events, and they’re achieving these much younger" (Avidog)
