Hair Samples for hoofpick

hoofpick is still looking for hair samples. She is looking for horse hair especially pearl and dun but is now interested in looking at other species as well. So if you have a dog, cat, or rat she would love some hair! To send samples, pinch a little hair (needs to have the folicles) from neck shoulder ribs and rump (so she can be thorough) and put in a ziplock bag. Please label with species and color if known and mail to her. If you'd like to send her some hair samples please pm either hoofpick or myself for the address. As I was writting this I got a visual of someone trying to pinch hair from a very uncooperative cat :rofl

I have 2 dun mares (bay & red) that I would be happy to send samples of...my bay dun has barbs coming all the way along her dorsal...so kool!!

I also have a silver bay if youd like hair HP?

What about mice? I have a black mouse, an agouti mouse, and a diluted agouti mouse. Not quite sure how to get hair, but I could try!

Fantastic!! but I want pics of you "getting" the hair!! :HB
And yes to every color!!!

I have kitties!
I've got black tabby, a torbie, a seal point, and the neighbor's kittens are black (brownish) and I'm assuming seal point.
I have access to rats, but they are all black hoodeds, so that's pretty dull. I can get hairs from them if you want though.
And I have 2 black and white border collies and a liver and white GSP

Right now Jazzy *looks* dun, haha! She has a feaux dorsal that's just the last to change to grey.

I have blue and choc dogs but I sold the pearl puppy, I might be able to get her her send me some hair from the pearl(diluted choc) puppy though.

Third Peppermint Sat, 05/14/2011 - 14:46

Hoofpick, how much hair do you need? I'm still trying to figure out this hair plucking on mice thing and they're being amazingly patient. So far I've only been able to get hair that I think they were shedding anyway.

Also, I have a "solid" white cat. She has a few dark hairs on her head when she was young. Interested?

Do you still need Dun? There's a fjord and her fjord/arab daughter where I board my horses, so that would be easy for get hair from. Not sure if I'd have to get some kind of specieal license for shipping the hair though, but that's another problem:P

hoofpick Thu, 08/18/2011 - 05:09

Yes please third pep and Itz!!!! :love No no special shipping stuff just pop the hair into a labled zipped locked bag and put in an envelope and send to me! I will pm you my details when you're ready to send.

Is pearl in ratties the same color as the grey-ish in weimaraners? We have a standard grey and a blue puppy at work right now. I could swipe a couple hairs from them without them minding. :)

Sorry I've been a bit slow with the latest dog hair but only just got out of hospital.. will get on to it now that I can't do anything else.. Lol I'm allowed to be lazy for a while!

hoofpick Sat, 10/08/2011 - 20:24

Went in to have the rod in my thigh removed but the head of one of the screws broke so they had all sorts of trouble ending in everything staying in... Apparently didn't have the equipment to fix it.. So now at home with a 2 foot cut down my thigh and heaps of pain and can't walk... So microscope here I come!

rodeoratdogs Sat, 10/08/2011 - 21:10

OMGosh I knew somthing must have happened to you, you kinda vanished, sorry to hear you were hurt:S Hope you heal fast!

We have had a super full plate too, sadly my father-in-law who actually dog sat for us while we were on vacation passed away on tues morning, we didn't even know he was sick. Well we knew the past few weeks that he had cancer, he didn't like going to the dr. but we finally made him go and it was way to late =(( .

doubleopi Sat, 12/17/2011 - 08:52

I have a seal point ragdoll kitten (he's not all the way dark yet) and a norwegian elkhound puppy, if you may be interested still...

CMhorses Thu, 06/21/2012 - 10:41

Hoofpick, I hope you read this! but do you have backups of your hair images and is there any way we can get them into the gallery? I have been wanting to look at some of your older pictures for a long time and they are gone from the original threads.
Also, are you still looking for new hair?

hoofpick Fri, 06/22/2012 - 04:36

Hi guys yep still floating about! Will dig up the pics! and I did some donkey hair ages ago and it was SO!! dun!!! Will try and find the pics! :love

hoofpick Fri, 06/22/2012 - 04:42

And yes still after hair!! especially pearl and odd color donkeys.. If I haven't got back to anyone in particular that has already sent hair, please yell at me!!! So I can get organised!! This pic is of a tested homo dun!

CMhorses Fri, 06/22/2012 - 05:56

I only have the most typically colored donkey out there, but she does have white hair from spotting, but I doubt that would be very different than horse hair. I have bunnies if you want hair from them :rofl

Monsterpony Tue, 06/26/2012 - 18:25

I have literally a giant pile of samples that I have marked to send to you including several Fjord and Fjord crosses plus a wide variety of other colors. I collected hair from any person that would let me.
