My vet said she has seen it before in some Rotts & Greyhounds that came from bad breeders. Its hard to explain without really looking at them but it's kind of difficult to trim them. Her nails are also black and they also grow WAY faster than almost every dog I have ever met before.
I absolutely hate long nails on dogs, I am obsessed with nail cutting. But...Shadow's nails are really long, and I am sooo afraid to cut them. They are just like you described Raustyk's. They are impossible to cut because of the quick, they're black and they grow so fast!! And on top of it she absolutly HATES it, we usually have to take her to the vet to get it done but they can't take much off either, and of course she behaves perfectly for them I try to take a little off each week but its impossible.

But nails, Mats and long fuzzy feet, I can't stand.
