If you have a groomer or someone else clip his nails make sure you remind them of the dew claws so they don't get missed. If left unclipped they can grow right around and into a circle or into the paw.

one of my dogs has one dew claw.. I really didn't notice until he was over a year. The vet would not remove it because he said it was like an amputation.
