00:00The pups are almost six weeks old and their personalities are really starting to shine through.

00:09Cute Bruin.

00:23I'm Sharon Osbourne and you're watching The Litter.

00:26Through playing and sibling rivalries, the kids are beginning to discover who they are.

00:36Ralphie is the biggest so far. He's the gentle giant, content to nuzzle up in his corner and watch his brothers play.

00:47Bruin is only the second biggest, but he fancies himself as top dog.

00:52He bowls his brothers right over every chance he gets.

00:59Easy Bruin, they're just babies.

01:03Munro is very dashing. He looks just like his mother.

01:07I wonder if he'll grow up to love belly rubs as much as Hope.

01:17Leroy has no fear.

01:21This handsome little man wants to be the first at everything.

01:25Although Bruin is bigger, these two constantly compete for dominance.

01:33Sammy is a little slower to attack the world than his brothers, but he's watching and taking notes.

01:40Don't worry Sammy, you'll figure it out.

01:45And of course there's Lenny. He's the runt of The Litter, but he sure doesn't know it.

01:52Remember Lenny? It's not how many times you get knocked down that matters, it's how many times you get back up.

01:59That's a boy.

02:02Take it easy Bruin, that's too rough.

02:08Come on Munro, don't let them push you around. Watch out Leroy!

02:14Sammy and Lenny, or is it Lenny and Sammy? You two are like twins.

02:21And there's Ralphie, just kicking it. I'll be here relaxing if you need me.

02:27Hope's boys are getting bigger every day.

02:32From the top of their heads down to the tip of their puppy dog tails.

02:37Which reminds me, now would be a great time to take a closer look at all the various parts that make a puppy a puppy.

02:45Starting with their cold, wet little noses.

02:51To a dog, the nose is as important as the eyes are to you and me.

02:56It's the main way they gather information about their surroundings.

03:02What looks like random sniffing to us is really them giving the world a once over glance.

03:08And these noses are sensitive.

03:11In fact, the nose of certain breeds can be a hundred million times stronger than a human nose.

03:22Paws.

03:26What's going on down there?

03:29A paw is made up of four load bearing pads with claws.

03:34A large middle pad and a carpal pad further up the leg.

03:39Also on the side is the dew claw, which is less for traction and more for gripping.

03:45Right now the puppy's paws seem too big for their bodies, but don't worry, they'll grow into them.

03:53Whiskers.

03:56Dogs whiskers aren't just cute, they're also ultra sensitive sensory receptors.

04:03The whiskers, or vibraceae, can sense even the slightest vibration in the air around them.

04:09This is why dogs can sense a thunderstorm or earthquake coming long before a human can.

04:18Ears.

04:21Listen to this.

04:24Dogs have up to 18 muscles in their ears to help them shift direction so they can pinpoint exactly where a sound is coming from.

04:33Dogs can hear sounds at four times the distance you or I can.

04:39Mouth.

04:42A puppy has 28 temporary teeth. Their permanent teeth come in around four months old.

04:50Obviously the mouth is used for feeding, licking and biting your brothers.

04:56But a dog's mouth also acts as a cooling system.

05:01The tongue helps regulate body temperature. That's why dogs let their tongues hang out on hot days.

05:09Tail.

05:12The tail is more than just your dog's happiness meter.

05:17On the upper surface of the tail is something called the violet gland.

05:22It secretes odours dogs use for signalling and marking territory.

05:28Eyes.

05:31Contrary to popular belief, dogs are not colour blind.

05:36Their vision isn't as good as humans, but they can detect colours.

05:43However, dogs do have better night vision than humans.

05:49Dogs also have a third eyelid called a nictating membrane.

05:54This is a clear membrane that protects the eye and keeps it moist while not interrupting vision.

06:00So Hope can keep an eye on her boys even when she blinks.

06:05OK, I get it. All of your puppy parts are bone tired.

06:11Enough learning for today. Sweet dreams you kids.

06:15Whoops, one more thing. Hope's belly rub.

06:19Good girl Hope.

06:26Next time on the litter, the puppies look for love online.

06:31Not that kind of love.

06:34Thanks for watching Pet Collective.
