Dew Claws Golden Retriever. Is it neccessary to have dew claws removed on a golden retriever. Each time the foot lands on the ground particularly when the dog is cantering or galloping the dew claw is in touch with the ground.
Her dewclaw had been ripped severely. If the dog then needs to turn the dew claw digs into the ground to support the lower leg and prevent torque. According to my research most owners do not.
It grows high up on the leg.
Our golden retrievers are family loving and family tested. Do Golden Retrievers Have Dewclaws. We dont believe its in the best interest for our puppies to have the dew claws removed. A study also showed that arthritis in the carpal joint is almost exclusively found in dogs without dew claws.
