Re: [PyrNet-L] Eyes & Dew claws

["Dolores Neal" <dneal@scan.missouri.org>]

We have had Pyrs 30 years and have never had any trouble with the
dew claws.  Do not even think about removing them. The eyes well
that is another thing. However I believe I would find a Vet. that knew a
little more about Pyrs before anything was done to one of my dogs.
Please do go to the person you bought your pup from and let them know about
the eyes. There is  chance they don't know about the eyes. Probable do know
but maybe not. And they should stop doing
what they are doing.
Okay, Doug, see I can be nice.
