Hi Just for information . In Britain it is unusual to have the dew claws taken off at all.We have had none of our dogs done ever and only ever had one dog who caught his, and it was sorted without losing the nail. We just keep them short but then we also have their tails on, as this also is illegal here to have them docked! Unless you have special permission and I think they are also trying to stop this now!
