Puppy play and dewclaws
Aside from the mouthy nature of my 11-week old, Ichi, I've come to notice he likes putting his paws on me and his dewclaws are downright lethal.
I know they are optional in terms of a breed standard, but I'm curious to know from other owners whether their little shibas have them or not.

My mom's dog (who turned 13 or 14 this year) still has both declaws, no issues, and she was a crazy rat terrier in her day!
Thanks,

If they are not any trouble (other than the lethal nature!) I wouldn't worry about them, but if they become a problem to your baby I would suggest having them removed.
They used to be removed on hunting dogs so that they would not get torn while running through tall grass.
