Their little brains are growing too!<\/h2>\n<p>Their eyes, ears and skin are feeding the brain a barrage of information on things they have ever seen, heard or felt before.<br \/>\nIn the process, they are learning about their world. They are learning that humans are good, food is good and even the family cat can be pretty good!<br \/>\nThey are also developing their emotions. They are learning to be happy, to be sad and to be afraid.<br \/>\nUnfortunately, their entire body doesn&#8217;t grow in a linear fashion. During those first 10 weeks, they enter a developmental &#8220;fear period&#8221; where their brains tell them that world is a very, very scary place.<br \/>\nOne of these fear periods happens between week 7 and week 9.<br \/>\nWe don&#8217;t know when a puppy will go through it or how bad it will be, but we do know that the puppy will wake up one morning inexplicably terrified. This fear period lasts approximately 5 days and we manage this time carefully. Puppies stay within the security of their littermates and we do our best not to expose them to any sudden sound or experiences.<br \/>\nIf a puppy suffers an adverse event during this time, their fear reaction will last their entire life.<br \/>\nSo yes, our owners have to wait a little longer and, yes, it is more time consuming and expensive for us, but puppy rearing done well is not going to be cheap or easy.<br \/>\nThe difference between those 2 weeks and a lifetime is a pretty easy decision to make.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n\t\t\n\t\t\t<div class='ewd-ufaq-faq-custom-fields'>\n\n\t\n<\/div>\n\t\t\n\t\t\t\n\t\t\n\t\t\t\n\t\t\n\t\t\t\n\t\t\n\t\t\t\n\t\t\n\t\t\t\n\t\t\n\t\t\t\n\t\t\n\t\t\t\n\t\t\n\t<\/div>\n\n<\/div>\n\t<\/div>\n\n\t\n<\/div>","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>A Why do you keep your puppies until 10 weeks?
