Lulach, I would rather look at the foot before I give an opinion. A "tendon issue" could make him more prone to injury when coursing, but it would depend on just how it affects him. Tuff Foot is good stuff, although actually more designed to toughen pads than anything else. Just make sure it's completely dry before you let him back in the house--particularly if you have light-coloured carpets!
If you're planning on coming to Rendevous at the Bridge in Evansville the first weekend in October, I'll be there helping with the coursing, and would be glad to take a look at his feet (and the rest of him, as well <G>) YIS, THL Samira Umm' al Harith Houndmaster, Huntly Pack, Midrealm > I have a general question.
