[tb25 4,627]

was going past the golf course today i seen a far few rabbits about,most with mixi i think,enyway gets the dog out to give her a few runs in till after the first one we was asked to leave...no bother.

yeh vet rap is the cheapest option , but how come you only had the one off when it was a pup , or have got it wrong .lol the prob is when you have dew claw off in a older dog, its like having thumb amputed as to a adult, that's why there charge more.But they do make a mint out of dog owners, prob next time get a pup with both removed. Bryn got his still on and over the years as had few probs catching them, and ripping the nail off , so have sometimes covered them like above.But I made sure my next lurcher as had them off, and Buck as had them took off when small pup.

i'm lucky with my lurcher as he had his off as a pup. but my staff ripped one off about 6 weeks ago. just kept it clean and it never bothered her. growing back now though.

considering how easy it is to remove dew claws on a day old pup i'm surprised that any litter of pups bred for working don't have them removed. no trauma for the pup and easier than docking a terrier

Remember vets are private practice,,,,ring round other vets and get quotes ,,,in other words shop about..
