Dew Claws

[Rileys mum]

I have a 5 mnth old pup who I got from a wonderful and highly respected breeder. I notice that my pup has had his dew claws removed by them. Is this a common thing? I am happy they were removed as I have had dogs with dew claw issues in the past but I just wondered if it was a common thing?

Cheers :-)

Depends on the breed but it is very common.

Very common, I wouldn't want a dog of my choosen breed with Dew claws.

Common is some breeds, yes

but shhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh or those who must not be named may stick their hippy noses in and try and stop this as well!

Wonderful thankyou. As I said, I'm very happy they were done but just thought I'd ask

I do them in my breed (bull terreir miniatures) some breeders do and some dont , i do because i find this breed has many problem left on for themselves and thier owners it is like a thumb to them. Anyway i do remove them and sometimes i admit i accidently forget to tell the new owners which is bad for me but i must try and remember.
