Ah .. Rounding of the ears was carried out in this country at the latter part of the 19th century, but the prince of Wales - who became King Edward 7th ... Wrote complaining about this practice to the kennel club who banned it in the showering. Presumably hunts followed suit, but you can never be sure with hunts

Of course as you work YOUR pointers in a 5 mile radius (you've quoted this several times ) how the heck would you know what you're dog was up too do you have x Ray vision oh forgot you just shock them
Get your facts correct before opening ones gob on subjects you obviously know nothing about
My German shorthairs are seldom more than 200 to 300 yards from me, and as they cross my path constantly so typically they are within 50 yards of me. You seem agitated about something, perhaps the fact that your doggies need to be leashed for their own safety.

Try again kid

Playing with the local children, note the smile on Moms face.

I find it hard that even in America where they had vast open spaces with no human habitation nearby it can be legal to allow your dog to huntaway over such distances, out of sight and any form of control.
All Norma knows about dogs she gets from TV, so just ignore her

Could Nicky Ann please provide a reference for this comment?
I find it amazing that as a German Pointer owner in the USA that I know more about English Foxhounds than the English do.

The English Foxhound is an athletic hunting dog. The skull is wide and the muzzle is long. The nose is about 4 inches long (10 cm) with wide-open nostrils. The teeth should meet in a scissors bite. The hanging ears are set low, lying flat to the head. Some choose to "round" the ears, which means about 1 1/2 inches are cut off of the end of the ear. The large eyes are brown. The legs are straight and the cat-like feet are round. The long tail is set high. The coat is short, hard, dense and glossy. Coat colors come in black, tan and white, for example tricolor (black, white and tan), or bicolor with a white background, or any combination of these three.

She's an idiot quoting idiot web sites as fact, she enjoys winding people up.

The only way we will get rid of her Lynn is to stop responding to her posts, she can only post in this thread so is throwing everything she can in here to wind folk up.

Azz has no intention of getting rid of her, so maybe we can do it ourselves by completely ignoring the idiot,

Respect must work in two directions. As for Norma, I have no clue what she was rambling about, but it was clearly disrespectful. My dogs are treasured by me and by everyone who encounters them. Squirrels not withstanding https://www.flickr.com/photos/136279...ream/lightbox/

You don't deserve any respect, all you do is talk cr@p and quote dubious sources as fact.

Prove it wrong that idiots crop the ears of English Foxhounds?

Then look up the word respect.
