Dew Claws

Bailey's were removed at birth.

I think there are a couple of people on the forum, who had their pup's rear dew claws removed when they were spayed or neutered.

Duncan is one of the ones who had a single back dewclaw removed during his neuter. He still has the other. There was zero bone-attachment and it just flopped there. Since I plan on doing dog sports with him, we were advised to have the flappy one removed. He didn't even mess with it much afterward, and I think he was relieved not to be pestering with it so much since it had bothered him some. I wish my breeder had removed both at 3 days.
 
All of Deja's were removed at birth but one of the back ones grew back. We were going to have it removed but she lost it while herding last winter.
