bill88 6 Posted February 1, 2008 Report Share Posted February 1, 2008 I've heard all the horror stories about dogs ripping them off etc,but in 30 years of keeping and working dogs ive never seen any bad dew claw injuries.I have one with and one without,and a mate who never removes them from his litters.I guess its down to personal choice,they are there for a purpose at the end of the day.

But dew claws can usefull especially on terriers, holding, climbing etc. Quote Link to post

Danny123 1 Posted February 1, 2008 Report Share Posted February 1, 2008 I seem to be unlucky with dew claws, or should i say my dogs seem to be unlucky. My lurcher has ripped hers off 3 times, the 1st time was her 1st time out ferreting, which bled a little for a few minutes but didnt stop her from catching the next bolted rabbit. Then after having my terrier for a few weeks he knocked his dew claw which ended up coming off. Therefore i totally agree that they should be removed (as a pup preferably) because they seem to be of little use and cause hassle that could be avoided. Quote Link to post
clay man 0 Posted February 1, 2008 Report Share Posted February 1, 2008 IT BEST TO TAKE THEM OFF Quote Link to post
pilgrim1982 0 Posted February 1, 2008 Report Share Posted February 1, 2008 One of my whippets has his dew claws and has never had any problems. I don't have an aweful lot of experience with running dogs. I have two whippets. One with and one without and these are my first running dogs that i have owned. Quote Link to post
