Dew-claws on a dog are a vesitigial toe. Some breed standards actually require there be a minimum of two dew-claws on each back leg. i.e. Great Pyrenees. While some breeds it is only a single it is still an extra toe. I have seen dogs use these on Fencing for balance when climbing over. (That means if you have an escape artist you need a hotwire around the top of your fence).
In 22 years of raising the Great Pyrenees I never had a dog to injure the dew-claws. Other toe nails yes, but never a dew-claw. Some dew-claws are not formed propertly and do not have a nail. Others have huge nails that grow in a circle and will grow back into the toe if not kept trimmed.
Stop and think if you would want to have any of your toes removed. Don't remove these dew-claws just make sure they stay trimmed at least every 4 or 5 months. It's easy enough to check. When you're petting your dog, just slip a finger between the end of the nail and the toe and if your finger won't fit, then it needs trimmed. shepherd564

Are rottweilers supposed to be dewclawed?
Most breeders do not tend to remove the front dewclaws, however they do have rear dewclaws removed as per the breed standard. Dew claws are normally removed within the first few days as a pup, this must be done by a veterinarian. As with all dogs they can catch them, which can be very painful, or they can become overgrown, consulting a veterinarian in these situations is the best way forward, they may suggest having them removed which will require sedation. Most rottweilers are born with just the front dewclaws, however rear dewclaws are quite common.

Don't mess with the dewclaw - it is probably very sensitive and painful to your dog right now. Schedule an appointment with your veterinarian as soon as possible for treatment - your veterinarian can use local anesthetic and remove the rest of the dewclaw if it is almost out, or can schedule general anesthesia and surgical removal within the next few days.
