Do the Saudis etc crop ears ?

or it more Iran kurds areas they do it  ? Much colder as you say 

I’ve seen Saudi and Emirati dogs with cropped ears. It’s mainly the Bedouins that do it, so it may be more of a traditional thing.

Parts of the Iranian plateau get very cold ,but that’s at high altitudes , but in general , most of the Middle East doesn’t get below zero very often , it may do occasionally, but not to a point where frost bite would be a concern. If that were the case, why don’t the Afghans and other central Asian countries where it gets very cold crop their dogs ears ?

No, I think there’s another explanation; Fens theory about the thorn bushes sounds plausible.

Cheers.

Karen Fisher and her dad imported Saudi and UAE dogs for their Ruwais kennel. I think she told me she got dogs from Hamad at the Saluki Center in Abu Dhabi. He told me if I couldn’t get one of his home without quarantine to get one of hers as they had the same lines.

 How many Kurds do you know ? Yes of course it gets cold in those places , but you’re determined to prove your frostbite theory so I’ll leave it at that. As for your thorn bush comment, complete nonsense ! LOL!

Unlike you, I’ve been in the Middle East deserts and there’s thorn bushes everywhere. 
I’ve said I don’t know why they crop their ears, but to prevent frost bite seems the least likely theory. 
Occums Razor……
