I found the thread about dew claw removal and if you look at post #7, there is a link with info.

I'm sure not trying to start a debate here...just wanted you to be aware that having dew claws removed as an adult is major compared to when they are newborns...another thing that I would be concerned about would be the additional time the pup has to be under the anesthesia to have dew claws removed.
