No, as all dogs have atleast two dew claws when they are born (unless they are removed).
Wild dogs have both paws and claws, just like domesticated dogs.
Dogs do not have fingers; they have paws with claws. The individual parts of a dog's paw are the pads, nails, and dewclaws.
Yes, as a general rule, all dogs have atleast two dew claws, unless they are removed.
Dogs main use of their claws is for traction when running, so there would be a disadvantage to them in having retractable claws. When compared with cats, dogs generally use their very strong jaws and teeth as the main tool, and do not use their claws or paws to grab hold of prey. Dogs usually hunt as packs, so they can surround their prey, rather than one animal having to hold the prey still while it is killed. Cheetahs do not retract their claws, but their speed is very important for catching prey, so the extra traction gained is at the sacrifice of very sharp holding claws.
Yes they do. All dogs do.

nothing. Most dogs do not have rear dew claws
