It is strange that Orson's were already gone
when I got him at 8 weeks old...all dogs
are born with them right??
I find it strange that his were removed already
b/c he came from a back-yard breeder
and doesnt seem they would fork out
un-nessesary money to have that done :?

Hmm, i didnt know some dogs not born with them...but
i'm sure if they can be "plucked" out maybe that is what
was done. He has a little bald spot where his dew claws
SHOULD be, so i assume he DID have them.

Orson was born with his dad's EB tail..
corksrewed, not docked.

we
groom one that has FOUR dewclaws on her back foot..

What possible purpose does that serve?? :?
Esp. since they are such a hassle, why would you want that as a
standard?
So i guess dog's dew claws are like human's appendix...they serve no purpose except to get removed! :lol:
