Brittany Puppies
Starting to watch and listen! (They can see blurry shadows of movement as their eyes open and their vision begins to develop. They hear noises as muffled sounds as their ears begin to open. I was amazed truthfully at the obvious reactions seen above. Their sensory perception seems to be keenly developed at a very young age according to notes in my whelping journal. The pups are overly reactive in a positive way not only as seen in this video in regards to sight and sound but also to the pattern of simple petting from head to tail (touch) and detecting John coming into their area by the scent of his cologne (smell). They are definitely adventurous as they 'explore' their surroundings and with every wobbly, uncertain step they learn something new. Seeing, touching, hearing, smelling are 4 out of the 5 traditional senses that seem to be highly developed at the age of 2 weeks. This leaves taste as the final sense so as we introduce them to solid foods in the future I'll be interested to see their reaction to that!
