Brandy,  While I knew that Pyrs were meant to keep their double dews, I
questioned the list when I first joined.  I wondered how many injuries
resulted from the double dews?  Everyone assured me that it occurred very
rarely.  Watching these dogs actually use their dew claws, and studying
their construction, I find that they actually are constructed in a much
more formidable way than just regular dews, I can see why it would be
more uncomfortable for the dog after having them removed.  One dew, or
none, does occur within the breed, but it becomes a serious fault.  
These guys really use those double dews, literally hanging by them at
times, and they seem to hold up remarkably well.  Cindy.
