Its a more serious proceedure when they are older. I personaly, would keep the tail and the dew claws. I have dogs with dew claws and they are not an issue at all! Both my Chi's have their dew claws and there is nothing wrong with having them.
I would highly suggest at this point to let the pup have both his/her tail and dew claws.

I thought it was a lot, and I dont really want to put the puppy through that kind of pain, so I thinking of keeping the tail, but definetly getting him declawed.. |
