Most dogs have 18 toes, not counting the dew claws or double dew claws that can be easily mistaken for extra toes. If your dog has more then four toes on their front feet and five in their back, he is called a polydactyl, which is just fancy word for extra toes. It's a pretty common trait, and there is usually no ill effects.
