@Nancy-Berry said I'm glad that it's getting so that their dew claws don't have to be removed!
Yes. Having, or not having, dew claws is definitely not indicative of a good or bad breeder, or of the quality of the dog.
I have had 2 different rescue Basenjis without dew claws who originated from "show" breeders; and I currently have a Basenji that I am showing who HAS dew claws. I would certainly hope that any judge would not base any decisions on whether or not a dog has dew claws.
The only problem with leaving dew claws on a Basenji is that it increases the odds of their ability to use power tools!
