| dew claws I know that seems like a dumb question, but how many dew claws do yorkies have? I could ha sworn that my corgi had 4 that we removed, but the vet that I was talking to today said that dogs only have 2 dew claws that are on the front feet.

| All 6 pups from both of my litters had only 2 dews each. I think that is more common than 4. BUT, I've also heard of them having more than 4. . .. ??? Weird, I know, but my vet said she has seen it. |

| depends on the breed. But it is very rare that a yorkie has four. I have heard that only having two shows good breeding. |

| LOL The easier way to think of dewclaws is to think of them as useless thumbs. Sylvia |
