How many toes do dogs have on their hind legs?
Dogs have four toes on their front and back paws. However, a little higher up on the leg is the dew claw, which looks a little like a thumb if you have a good imagination. Some dogs are born with dew claws on their front and/or hind legs. If the fifth toe you're talking about sits a little higher up, it is a dew claw. Most dogs born with them have them removed by the breeder when they are puppies or their owners opt to have them removed during spay/neuter surgery.

How many claws does a dog have 4 or 5?
4Answer:Dogs have four obvious claws on each paw. But on their frontfeet, there's also a fifth claw, called a "dew claw," on the inside of the leg near the back of the foot. (It's oriented to their other claws much like human thumbs are oriented to our fingers.) So, dogs have five claws on each front foot, but only four on each hind foot. (I just went and examined all my dogs' feet to be sure!)If your dog had a previous owner, they might have had these dew claws removed; many owners do. Also, on long-haired breeds, the dew claw will be unnoticeable under their coat. You have to feel for it to locate it.
