What dog breeds have double rear dew claws?
There are no breeds that specifically have hind dew claws, as most are removed by a vet. Some breeds are bred to have double dew claws, such as the Beauceron, Pyrenean Mountain Dog, Lundehund and Braird, but these breeds do not have the dew claws removed.
Does rear dew claws mean a pit bull is not pure bred?
No, this does not mean that the Pit Bull isn't purebred, but it is highly likely, as they typically do not appear in purebred A.P.B.T. Rear dew claws can appear in some breeds but are usually removed due to the breed standard. Extra dew claws are not required in the American Staffordshire Terrier breed standard so most breeders will likely remove the rear dew claws before selling the puppy. If you encounter a Pit Bull that still has these extra claws, it probably means the breeder just didn't want to pay to have them professionally removed, and is probably a sub-standard breeder, and the dog may not be purebred.
Are dewclaws breed specific?
If your dog is to be shown and is Kennel Club registered, then look at its Breed Standard to see how many dew claws your dog should have and whether they should be removed. Most breeds are different and some may require the dew claws to be removed. Here is an example of some breeds rules on dew claws:Beauceron, Briard or Great Pyrenees - Double dew claws on the hind legs and single dew claws on the front legs. Never removed if the dog is to be shown.Staffordshire Bull Terrier and many other breeds - Usually only single dew claws on front legs and none on hind legs. All removed for showing.Lundehund/Puffin Hound - Double dew claws on front legs and on back legs. Should have eight in total. Never removed for showing.Rottweiler and some other breeds - Single dew claws on front legs and sometimes on back legs. Rear dew claws should be removed. Front dew claws not relevant.I cannot give you every breed's standard on dew claws, but look on the Kennel Club website for other breeds.

Where is the heel of a dog's front paw is it up by the dew claws or is it just behind the middle pad?
It's by the dew claws. If someone is talking about "the heel of the paw pad" they mean the back edge of the paw. But if you compare a human skeleton to a dog's, you'll see that the bones are very similar, and the dog is essentially walking on its toes all the time.
