Confused Dewclaws

*Little* confused on this one.

I noticed the other day that Percy still has one of his dewclaws attached. One was removed, one wasn't. I pointed it out to the vet when we went the other day for pre-neuter blood work (). He stated that this was odd, and not only was the one not removed, but the other was "not taken out correctly".
He and I were both baffled at this and I contacted the breeder to ask what happened. She hasn't gotten back to me yet, which is also making me wonder more.

I know there are some breeders on the board and am wondering if anyone would have any idea why they would only take one of the claws off. And what could have happened to the other one. He chews at it all the time, and is there anyway he could have chewed the other one off? I don't think I want them to take the other one off, as the vet said he didn't need it off and he didn't want to put him though it at this stage. Do most breeders have the claws taken off? Could they have missed it or something.
