Dew claws are usually removed at birth or a few days after. The extra toe serves no purpose, they actually kind of get in the way. It is easy for a dog to catch it's dew claw on something and tear it off. That's why a lot of pups have them removed at birth. -Amanda- ________________________________________________________________________ Check out the new AOL.
