I should've mentioned in my last post that Pfeiffer also has her dew claws - we've never had a single issue with them. I even asked my vet about whether they should be removed during her spay - and she didn't recommend it at all. She doesn't see the risk/benefit unless a dog is a hardcore hunting dog. Otherwise, she almost never sees dew claw issues to the point that they warrant removal *before* an injury.
