That must have been fascinating going to one of Dr. Zink's workshops. Her credentials are amazing.

All of my Yorkies in the past had dew claws removed. Kate has her front dew claws, and I wondered why when her tail had been docked. Dr, Zink's article gives a good explanation why it's best to leave dew claws intact.
