Hare's ears

[Traditionalist]

This is the INSIDE of an ear and the OUTSIDE of the same ear

On the leading edge of the ear, both sides, you have very light coloured guard hair. One side has much stiffer and longer hair than the other. You can use the long side for wings, tails etc, and the short side for light guard dubbing.

There are three other distinct areas on the outside of the ear. At the base of the ear you have short red/brown fur. Above this short white/buff fur, and then you have the tip of the ear which is very short almost black fur.

Moving to the inside of the ear. We have already covered the leading edges.We have much the same scheme as on the outside, but there is much less hair and it is shorter. Otherwise similar. Again the easiest way to remove this hair is by pinching it out with your finger and thumb. You may of course shave it, using an electric razor or similar, but this tends to shorten already very short hair, and as various parts of it are quite spiky, this may be difficult to dub.
