Me and my brother were having this debate. He's looking into getting a dog because they've been robbed a few times and he's just looking for a good companion to keep him busy. Anyways, he ran across an add about a dog that has been declawed. IMHO, why would you need to declaw your dog unless it is for medical purposes?
So he brings up the fact that I've altered my dog and I tried explaining to him, why people spay/neuter their dogs. He thinks that de-clawing your dog is the best thing for everyone and his reason being is that they no longer can scratch you and you no longer have to worry about getting them cut. I'm just thinking those are the worst reasons ever. You really don't need to de-claw your dog unless it was infected or something. What's your take on this?
