Title: Re: double dew claws Post by: halfbreed on October 21, 2012, 12:57:23 pm no down fall they might hang on something now and again , just be sure and watch them and keep the nails trimmed so they don't curl around and grow back into the leg .

Natural bob tails are ok as long as the tails are not real short because it can become as problem...I prefer the pups to be born with a normal tail and the dock it as a little pup so that it will be about 5 inches when the pup is born...

Title: Re: double dew claws Post by: shuttin em down on October 21, 2012, 09:38:17 pm How often do I need to trim them
Title: Re: double dew claws Post by: Blue Duck on October 21, 2012, 09:42:45 pm I just trim em as needed, to where it is only a 1/4 length of a full nail, very seldom i have a problem, 1 out of 10 hunts will he limp any

Title: Re: double dew claws Post by: Lance on October 22, 2012, 02:22:07 pm I've got two young dogs with full size double dews on the back, Their about 10 months old now and I have just started hauling them. I keep them trimmed to about half their normal length and have'nt had any trouble. I've done the same thing with others that I have had in the past and only had one rip out a nail.
