Does Your Dog Have Dew Claws?

Just curious
Dog thumbs!

Ripley does, but Rory had them removed when he was still just a blob
Grayson and Lucky had them too - though Lucky had mad floppy ones on her hind legs too

Mollie had one on each front leg and one on her left back they removed when she was about 8 months old as it kept catching on things and bleeding. Wouldn't recommend the surgery unless the claw was a real problem as it was ages getting better and very sore for quite a while afterwards.

All our other dogs have just had the ones on the front legs.

Skye and Breagh have front dew claws but never had rear ones. On some running photographs (with Skye especially) you can see the dew claws in action as they corner.

Fingal didn't have dew claws front or back. They were removed when he was born.

The new Springer pup was the only one of the litter born with rear dew claws and they've been removed. He still has the front ones.

Malcolm and Bandit have front dew claws but Scooby has none. I can only assume they were removed when he was younger.
