Thread: Dog vision. Interesting simulation.

Some more from Budiansky...dogs can hear sounds up to about 65,000Hz or cycles per second ... a healthy teenage human can hear sounds up to a maximum of about 20,000Hz ... the canine nose has something like twenty times as many primary receptor cells as the human nose.

And by the time you're 50 you're probably down to about 12khz top end, maybe less if you have punished your ears with noisy things over the years.

Same for your dog If you punished his ears with years of duck shooting and deer hunting.

Hence why hunting breeds were developed to have folded ears ... and to protect their ears in the rough conditions they hunt in ...

Cut it out. Dogs had folded ears long before they were even used in sporting pursuits.

just cos a dog turns his head towards an unseen incoming duck don't mean he see,s it.
it means he,s heard it and trying more likely to bring his snout first then his eyes maybe onto the job.
maybe turning to it helps cross reference the lugholes to.
