I hate to hear that dewclaws have been added to this, several of our members have had their dog's dewclaws ripped off as an adult, and this is very painful for the dog. Others have had to have them cut off as an adult because they were causing so many problems. Sometimes animal right groups help promote laws that aren't always in the best interest of the animal.
