    There are draw backs to everything and dogs can be injured in many ways. There are more positives to keeping dew claws on. Field trial people and Vets are coming around to this. There is a reason that the british breeders leave them on. We always left them on back in the 60's, 70's, and 80's...

    First Kansas Trip

    Anywhere you find pheasant you will find some quail. As far as specific areas contact the KDWP. I wish this site would monitor hot spotting like the Upland Journal Forum.
