The dew claws have been removed and vet checked. The mother and father are both on site. I never had any health problems with the mother or father, this puppy is super healthy and should stay very healthy. The puppy has been around children since she was born and loves to play. I have 5 adult labs and this is the 5th litter of puppies that we have had. I receive pictures from people that I have sold puppies to and they are very happy, I have never received a complaint about one of my puppies.
