| Back dew claws?? Can someone please tell me where the dew claws are on the back paws. None of mine have them. Coco and Pebbles have docked tails and dew claws on the front. Trixie was given to me by someone who's yorkie had 2 puppies and I took the girl. She has a full tail, dew claws on the front and none on the back. I can't find them and I know she didn't remove them. I'm puzzled

| Most Yorkies are born without rear dewclaws. I had two sisters that I had bought from a breeder and those two females always produced pups with rear dewclaws, none of my other females have. If a dog has rear dewclaws they are just inside the rear feet, above the inside toes. |

It's a Yorkie Thing Donating Member | My little Lacie has double dew claws on her rear feet. Her breeder had removed the front ones at birth, but she has two on each foot on the back. I asume she had been checked when born but they must have missed them. All five of her last litter was born with back dews, but her first litter did not have them on the back. Other breeders....Is this common??
