Yeah my girl has them, I don't know what the laws are here regarding removal since I'm in the UK and things like cropping and tail docking are illegal but I'm sure I've heard of people here having the vets do dewclaws to bigger dogs and spaniels. I don't find them bothersome, I keep them clipped and they hide behind my baby girl's hair and don't cause her any pain or discomfort. She only has a single dew claw on each front leg though, and they sit very close to her leg and don't snag on stuff, some dogs grow 2 or they grow out in awkward positions which can cause big issues. I think it's not as common here for pups to have them removed like it is out there because you don't really hear about it often. I know where I live that it's illegal for anyone to do it at home, a vet has to surgically do it.
