I knew that there were some breeds that required dewclaws, but was too lazy to look it up, LOL.
Yes, Peggy, I agree about dewclaws. I leave them as I don't like mutilating for looks, i.e. tail docking and cropping ears, etc. In 21 years, we have only had one dog that had to have his dewclaws removed as an adult. He kept rubbing his eyes and scratching the corneas with his dewclaws so we had them removed during a teethcleaning.
