Are rottweilers supposed to be dewclawed?

Answer 1

Most breeders do not tend to remove the front dewclaws, however they do have rear dewclaws removed as per the breed standard. Dew claws are normally removed within the first few days as a pup, this must be done by a veterinarian. As with all dogs they can catch them, which can be very painful, or they can become overgrown, consulting a veterinarian in these situations is the best way forward, they may suggest having them removed which will require sedation. Most rottweilers are born with just the front dewclaws, however rear dewclaws are quite common.

Answer 2

They should have their dewclaws removed at the same time as getting their tail docked.

Answer 3

Some breeders have them all removed, but most just leave the front ones on to allow them to grip a bone. My Rottweiler has them just on the front.

Answer 4

Yes they can... front and back. Usually removed within the first few days of birth.

Answer 5

They can, but then they may not.

In all litters all of the puppies may have dew claws, some may have them and then others have none at all.
