On a serious note, why DO they cut the ears??  The only reasons I can think are to stop them getting ear mange (it would work well for that) or because they hunt things that bite...nothing bleeds like ears and tails.

How about the henna? Does anyone think it toughens feet and stoppers at all? If it has any real effect then it's easy enough to get it from health food shops and hippy shops. My wife reckons it definitely strengthens hair by adding an extra layer of keratin to it. Would that strenghthen skin on feet and stoppers enough to make a difference?

I'd appreciate anyone's opinion on this as stopper pads is the main issue I get causing lameness when my hounds run hard and rough land. They've learned to slow before turning on hard forest tracks and this helps but they still do stoppers more than anything else.

ear cropping is just a daft custom, meant to be for protection, beauty etc but why only do one on some?

henna is antiseptic, protection, meant to toughen feet and for beauty

Yeah, I know it's meant to be but do you think it is?

Not sure about the beauty either but if red extremities are beautiful then I've got a cracker .

Very much a saluki frame though. I'd like to see him run. Here in Clonakilty there are lots of Turkish people, mostly barbers. They do the best haircut and shave and even set your hair on fire as a finale!

 Turkish barbers here are tops at styling flattops and so on. They tend to burn the hair off the back of your neck with a taper and pluck your earholes and eyebrows. Fairplay Rio, they do a good old haircut for the money but they're quite snobby about doing the older, smellier locals! People might think they're smelly foreigners but they seem to think the same about us.

Good scrub with a wire brush and dettol will sort it.you might even get close to the heart of the mystery and get a way of being that no-ones ever heard of before. All very cosmic, not many really understand the heart of the mystery grasshopper.

Feckit, you DO know a bit about brushes Grasshopper.
