Rebanne Posted July 30, 2013 Share Posted July 30, 2013 I'd never remove a dogs dew claws once they were past a few days old unless there was a real reason to do so (ie: they kept splitting them, hurting themselves with them etc). If your breeder didn't remove them close to birth, they probably didn't see a need for it so I'd not be doing it now. rear dew claws are very different to front ones and can cause lots of problems cause the whole 'toe' is loose and floppy, They are rarely tight up against the leg like front ones.

Yeh I saw after they said only the back ones. Would have thought the breeder would have done it if they were they much trouble. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Much easier then removing the front ones. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
LisaCC Posted July 30, 2013 Share Posted July 30, 2013 I've made a horrible discovery. Puppy breath is gone Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
YvonneM Posted July 30, 2013 Share Posted July 30, 2013 I've made a horrible discovery. Puppy breath is gone Isn't puppy breath the cutest thing! It made be realise how short "babyhood" is for our puppies. Although now that Banjo has lost a couple of his baby teeth in the last few days, there is a faint puppy breath there again .... or perhaps I am just imagining it - LOL! I don't want my baby to "grow up" too much! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Zereuloh Posted July 31, 2013 Share Posted July 31, 2013 I just got a phone call from Tyrion's breeder! They were responding to my email regarding dew claws. They can't believe he has them, they said that they've never had a dog with them before so they're very surprised that he has got them. As a result they want to come visit him next week lol Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

cassie Posted July 31, 2013 Share Posted July 31, 2013 I'm a bit confused too Do they mean they've never had a dog with them, as in all their other dogs were born without them? Is this even possible? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Is this even possible? Rear dew claws aren't common in some breeds, but I'm confused as to how a breeder could not notice them, especially if they aren't common in their breed!

LisaCC Posted July 31, 2013 Share Posted July 31, 2013 Hope you get it figured out Zereuloh. It's taken a month, but Nova has finally worked out how to use his Kong Wobbler! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Rear dew claws aren't common in some breeds Wow! Can honestly say I've just learnt something new :) I thought all dogs had them. My friend has a Pyrenean Mountain Dog and they even have DOUBLE rear due claws! She shows him, so can't have them removed. She hates them, and I must admit they do look a bit strange. So glad my boys have none. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

LisaCC Posted July 31, 2013 Share Posted July 31, 2013 I don't know how or why but the Puppy breath is back!! Perhaps it went away because I wormed him on Monday! But he just breathed on me and it was mesmerising. (My friends and family think I'm nuts) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lollipup Posted July 31, 2013 Share Posted July 31, 2013 Nova is getting so big! We have lost puppy breathe here too Envy is 12 weeks old on Friday Naaww you guys want pics. This is 2 weeks ago, looking for where i put some more recent ones. Can anyone help me with potsting photos? I resize them to a small size with a program them upload them here and can still only fit in a couple and they are small. Other posters have heaps of bigger photos in one post?? Are they on a photo site instead of uploaded through dol? I can do that if i have to, but its another step. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
LisaCC Posted July 31, 2013 Share Posted July 31, 2013 Envy is so beautiful! I love her ears :) She looks very big for 2 weeks ago! My big ones are already uploaded on my facebook page and I get the image link from that. I think others use flickr or photobucket etc. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

This is also almost 2 weeks ago at my in-laws place, giving their dog Gizmo a hard time. SO CUTE Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
