I m gonna buy GSD (alsation) , n I wanna know weather a pure breed has claws in hind legs or not ??

Question

PLS REPLY

Answer 1

Yes...a GSD can have dewclaws on the rear legs, but they should be removed. Most reputable breeders know this and have it done when the puppy is just days old. ( 4-5 days)

Answer 2

All breeds of dogs I know of are born with dew claws on all four legs. Most good breeders will remove all four dewclaws at birth or very soon afterwards as it is very easy to do then and will cause the newborn very little - if any - discomfort. Some breeders only remove the rear dew claws. Dewclaws are removed because they serve no useful purpose and are often the source of injury or infection as the dog gets older and more active. Removal of the dewclaws does not affect your dog's eligibility to participate in AKC sanctioned conformation events, nor does it negatively impact him/her in any other way.

Answer 3

Most GSDs are born without rear dewclaws, but there are a few lines out there which do still have them.

Most reputable breeders will remove them when the pups are very young, though, so if you have found a breeder whose pups still have them intact and the pups/dogs are older, I would question the breeder's integrity and reputability.

Answer 4

It can but this is considered undesirable as thay can catch on things & tear causing problems. A good breeder would have them taken off at 1- 2 days of age when doing this is not a big deal. Not doign so is the hallmark of puppymills/backyard breeders which make me wonder about other things like hip displasia.

Answer 5

A REPUTABLE breeder will REMOVE dewclaws-front & back.
NO registration paperwork??
RUN AWAY!!!

Answer 6
