See no evil, hear no evil. Our canine friends believe they hear only good things from us, mainly because of their unwavering devotion and unconditional love. We are truly fortunate to have such extraordinary carnivores as our closest allies and guardians. As part of their duty, their ears perform one of the most important actions because they hear at higher frequencies than humans. The frequency range of dog hearing is approximately 40 Hz to 60,000 Hz, compared to 20 Hz to 20,000 Hz for humans, with Hz being the symbol for Hertz, a unit of frequency. For this reason, their vigilance has been extremely useful in protecting us. over the millennia. With the exception of cropped breeds, most fanciers don't pay too much attention to their dog's ears, considering them obvious but essential characteristics in the overall genesis of a good dog. Although this may reflect a modicum of reality for a number of breeds, for example hunting dogs, where some repeat the parrot-like expression "he doesn't run on his ears", it does indeed exist breeds that contradict this accepted principle. In reality, judges often overlook a malformed or misplaced ear, but this can be unfortunate for some breeds whose shape and ear are very important to their function. The location of the earlobe or junction with the head is called the ear. or a set of ears. The shape, leather, carriage and size of the earlobes vary between breeds, but the ears are all the same composition. Attachment can influence performance, for example, a retriever breed's low-set ears may take on water while the dog swims to retrieve game. Waterlogged ears are much more prone to infection and are dysfunctional. A number of breeds, such as the Bloodhound and Basset...... middle of paper ...... m animals are rarely very alarmed, this seems likely. . A trait not found in any wild animal except the elephant, says scientist and author Lyudmila N. Trut, Early Canid Domestication, The Farm-Fox Experiment. Essentially, foxes' ears became floppy when breeding for taming, and in doing so, researchers observed striking changes in physiology, morphology and behavior, which mirror changes known in other domestic animals . Humanity's intervention once again proved so influential that "patterns of change observed in domestic animals resulted from genetic changes that occurred during breeding." One of the meanings of the proverb in this article, in its entirety, is associated with good spirit, speech. and action. Others think the proverb stands for “turning a blind eye” – which is very appropriate when talking about purebred dog conformation events...
