OoH of course I don't mind

- everyone is entitled to his or her own opinion about dewclaws (same goes for docking tails because I have heard both sides of that story as well.) My main concern is what is right for Ollie! Did you buy your baby, specifically, with dewclaws still in tact?
I, mainly, started this thread because so often you hear from a breeder "Yes, tailed docked and dewclasws removed" which is what my breeder said and it wasn't done! I'm more worried about the sketchiness of the breeder than the removal of the dewclaws themselves. ANyways- thank you for your contribution

- I'll def. wait to hear back from the breeder, get my vets opinion, and keep the nails short in the meantime.
