front ones don’t matter with AKC. People chop them off because they are pain to clip. Most breeders leave them on now. They have proven they use them and it is an acupuncture point also.Scooter had front dewclaws and they were a real pain to clip... mostly because he was a pain!
I think all of our other dogs had them, but no problem keeping them trimmed.
I didn't get a choice with Pi, but with the way he uses his legs I could see them causing some problems.
Does AKC make it part of the breed standard to keep or remove them?
Like Doberman ears... seems they have to be cut to show them. I love a Dobie with long ears.
