From what I can gather, dew claws are like our appendix and wisdom teeth: They don't really serve any purpose, but we've got 'em anyway. Arthur has both his front ones, and one little back one, which I plan on having removed just cuz I don't want to take the chance on him getting them caught on something. Just like an appendix or wisdom teeth, they're useless, but if something happens to them it can be fatal. Stupid evolution! Supposed to take care of things like that. hehehe
Guster, did you know there are breeds like the Great Pyrenees that have DOUBLE dew claws, even in the back? Those can be funky.
