johnk 0 Posted July 16, 2008 Report Share Posted July 16, 2008 ive been running lurchers 35 years and ive never removed the dew claws,as long as you clip them and dont let them grow too long you should not have much bother,greyhound men dont remove the dew claws,they say the dogs take the bends better with them on,so i always think it would help them wheel better.well thats just my opinion not wanting to start any stupid arguments. johnk snr Quote Link to post
