5 back toes - Has anyone seen this before?
Submitted by Lonna with Harl... on August 17, 2010 - 11:46pmJust noticed one of the puppies has 5 toes on one of his back feet. Anyone ever seen this before? If so, will it cause any problems as he grows?

i think its a dew claw
my bully has them in the front, but not the back.. we had a german sheperd that had them in the back.. no issues, you just have to watch the nail growth , as it will tend to snag on things! my friends use to make fun of my dog because they said it looked like freaky dead toe.. as it just kinda hung and jiggled there...
i think some people get them cut off, but i think that would hurt, as it is like cutting off a finger!

Definitely a Dew Claw
My Pyr had double dew claws in the back...I just had to make sure the nails were trimmed.
