I never said I have a problem with them. I don't really like the looks of them, and would rather just have them taken off as pups. In some of the places we hunt, its just something to get torn off. The breed standard calls for them to be removed.
I was just wondering where it might be coming from, and how common it really is.
I have two females here, littermates, only one has them. Their sire had them, and about 75% of the litter did. I bred one of the sisters (the one without), and she didn't have any pups with them.
Another 'line' of walkers out here has them show up frequently. Only link in their pedigrees are Stylish Lipper.
I am going to be breeding a non dewclawed son of my non dewclawed female, to a dewclawed female out of the other line. I'm figuring I'm gonna see some dews in the bunch.
