What do your puppies come with? All of our puppies are sold with an limited AKC registration unless full registration is pre-approved. They receive ENS, their first shots, and are treated for parasite prevention on a regular basis. The puppies are seen by my vet and given a certificate of health. We offer a health guarantee for our puppies and send along a quart of their puppy food (ProPac Premium Puppy) as well as a blankie with mama and sibling’s scent. Puppies must be at least 8 weeks old before they leave. All our puppies come with lots of pre-spoiling and love!
What is ENS? ENS stands for Early Neurological Stimulation, which is performed once a day between the 3rd and 16th days of the puppies lives. It includes these exercises, each of which are done for 3-5 seconds. #1. Tactile Stimulation. Gently tickling between the toes with a Q-tip. #2. Using both hands, pup is held perpendicular to the ground, so head is directly above it’s tail, in an upwards position. #3. Position is reversed with head pointing towards the ground. #4. Holding pup resting on it’s back with muzzle facing the ceiling. #5. Placed on a damp cool towel. Puppy is not restrained in any way.
When performed correctly, ENS is believed to impact the neurological system by kicking it into action earlier than would be normally expected. Benefits include improved 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, according to Breeding Better Dogs.
What is the difference between full and limited registration? With limited registration you will receive a certificate of registration by the AKC stating it is limited registration, however, offspring of this dog will not be eligible for registration. Full registration allows the offspring of the dog to be registered with the AKC. Let me know before placing a deposit if full registration is something you are interested in.
Do you ship your puppies? While we love to meet our puppy’s new family in person, we realize that sometimes distance can make this very difficult to do. Yes, we can arrange to ship your puppy with a shipping company we trust, or you can arrange the shipping using your preferred company.
