| My retired breeding bitch has 3. She has 2 on the front, and only one on the back. It has no quick in it and it can be cut right up to the leg. I will have it removed when I spay her, apparently the breeder didn't notice it at birth. None of her puppies had the extra dew claw |

Yes, it does depend on how the dew claw is and develops. Some are quite close to the leg and if kept trimmed they do not present such a high risk in the field; however some are not that close to the leg and even if kept trimmed down would still be in danger of rupturing. |

| Of my ten Goldens that I have owned, two had dewclaws removed by breeders. I do not remove dewclaws and I have never had a problem....
