What I also find interesting is how fast nails grow on some dogs and none on 
others. Pepper - my younger GSD has nails that grow inches at a time and need 
to be cut every 3-4 days. Simmie - the elder GSD has nails that NEVER grow and 
hers get done about once every two weeks or I would be bleeding them all the 
time. I have also found the same thing in Dals.

 

I have also found that some nail growth is genetic - fast growng is past on to 
the next generation..

 

Some years ago, the sweetest dog in the world, Rob came in from outside with a 
couple of the girls. Blood all over the house... We stopped to look at the dogs 
and sure enough, Rob had pulled out a whole nail - he was NOT limping.......... 
Until we looked at it and then he put on a show for us...
