About dogs Misunderstandings about dog paws
British Bulldog (definite introduction)

Perhaps for a dog, the paws are the most likely to be damaged The overlooked part is because all dog paws are just like that, there is no special place. So we are often indifferent to dog’s paws. Precisely because people usually pay less attention to it, it may be easier to ignore some issues, and there are also many misunderstandings about dog paws.

1. What’s so good about dog paws? Aren’t they all the same?

It turns out that if you look carefully, you can tell the difference. Some dogs have round, arched paws with four toes hugging tightly, just like cat claws. We call them cat-shaped claws. Some dogs have slightly longer paws, with the two central toes extending over each other, like rabbit feet, which are called rabbit-shaped paws. Did you know that there are also some dogs with duck-like webs between their toes, which are very suitable for swimming, but we can’t call them duck-shaped feet because their shape is not like duck feet. In addition, some dogs have large and thick feet, like wearing two pairs of large snow boots, with a large amount of protective hair growing between the toes and pads.

2. All dogs have five toes in the front and four in the back. Wolf toes are molted toes. It doesn’t matter if you want them or not

Some dogs are born with wolf toes on their hind legs. This is common. It is caused by bad genes. They are actually corrupted parts and have little significance in surviving, so they can naturally be eliminated. Removal of wolf toes is generally performed within 10 days after the puppy is born, and is a very simple surgical operation. The meaning of this operation lies in the pain caused by the accidental injury of the wolf toes and the overdevelopment of the wolf toes embedded in the limbs after being ordered. There are also some people's requirements for dog beauty, a pair of long straight legs or because of the wolf toes. Complete effectiveness is compromised.

In the professional dog show field, not all dogs need to have their wolf toes removed, so there are "must remove", "can remove" and "must not remove". It has been discovered that both the bear dog and the Anatolian Shepherd Dog can have two wolf toes on one hind leg. The former must be kept, and the latter can be removed.

3. It is absolutely forbidden to have splayed feet for a standard dog

Yes, a pair of feet with toes pointing forward and standing straight will look good. Feeling healthy. It’s hard to imagine what great achievements an adult Doberman, Great Dane or noblewoman could achieve. However, if it were a Scotch tweedie with a slightly outside-out forefoot, it might not be judged for this reason. Because its outer horoscope can be settled. The scale is not rigid, it is not that the personality of the dog breed is not taken into consideration, this can actually be called a "recognized shortcoming", because this shortcoming will not affect the health of this dog breed.

These questions are some of the misunderstandings we have about dogs’ paws. It seems that many problems are not what we think. The reason why we have these misunderstandings proves our views on dogs. The understanding is not enough, so we still have a lot to learn in order to raise good dogs.
