VN :>     The first and last time we took Spot in a halter
VN :>class, I was getting DESPERATE to bald her ears.  At 7:00
VN :>at night, I finally got desperate and called a vet to come
VN :>tranquilize her.  He laughed the whole time and actually
VN :>clipped her ears himself as he wanted to make sure she was
VN :>out enough!
@e used to have to t@itch Thistle...after going through that, my opinion of 
balding is definitely negative.  I just "fold" the ear and trim the hair that 
sticks out.  I also don't like to bald them, as their natural fly protection 
is eliminated.  Ho@ever, if you're into serious sho@ing, it's a must, so I 
guess they have to learn to deal @ith it one @ay or another. No@, the Fjord 
people have the right idea!
