There seems to be more lurchers about now, that still have their dewclaws left on,. and even working them on all sorts of terrain, don't seem tohave any problem with them. I have owned 2 lurchers wth dew claws on and never had any problems  when running them, I found that if clipped just like toe nails,they caused no hassle.

I've heard both sides to this from many good dog men but the best bitch I ever owned was my only one with dew claws and they were a night mare , so since then its always been off with them for me .

Just take them off when there three or four days old then you can forget about them simples, easy to do just crush them before cutting them , job done

if you don't do them right they can grow back, I never had it happen, but vet does my spaniel pups when he does the tails and it happened 3 times, he makes it right but its an opp and a nuisance.

Two crows I would give that vet a miss in future he incompetent ,it's one  thing putting it right but its unnecessary surgery a procedure where complications or even los of the animal  while under .can occur how can he miss a bit of gristle  I know you need in some cases paper work fa the tails but don't get surprised if these don't grow back on one or two ,using that plonka lol .atb bill

That's fine and all well and good but some jukels especially bully types have stick out type dew claws that continually get catched up on all sorts best off in my view but on a note natural type jukels seem ta carry them tight to the leg and often smaller .claws  it's a case of the breeders views and if yas  buy in it's pot luck if they removed them.atb bill

I just tape them back on my older bitch, although she uses them like thumbs when holding a rabbit.

what gets me with the vet I bin using he a decent vet with every thing else and getting another to do the tails aint that simple.

All my dogs minus one have kept there dew claws on never had any knocks or injuries that are just as likely to occur to any other Part thru hard running
