Why do they have them and do they need them or not?
Yorkies are usually born with the front dew claws. They are removed at the same time their tails are docked; between 3 - 5 days old. The dangers of leaving them on is they do get hung up on things, and and if left in place and not trimmed regularly they can grow into their skin.....there really is no need for them...
