Dew You Have REAR Dewclaws?
Sage has front dewclaws, but he had his back ones removed when he was neutered before I got him because they were not attached to bone. (When I met him, he had his backlegs taped up like a racehorse!) Reilly never had rear dews. I guess not all breeds have rear dewclaws?
Do/Did your dogs have rear dewclaws? (I assume they all have front dews...)

Kai's have front ones, but most breeders remove them before you pick them up.
No rear dewclaws.
"FEET:
The feet are of medium size, round in shape, well knuckled up, with thick strong pads. Nails should be hard and black in color. Dewclaws may be removed."
man I really can't type today. lol
Jindos and dew claws

It's not uncommon for breeders to remove dewclaws from their pups. They do this by the time they're 5 days old. It's especially common in the toy breeds, since they are more prone to accidentally ripping their front dewclaws out.
( I just wiki'd dew claws, and those are indeed what Loki has)
Not all dogs are born with rear dewclaws. The rear dewclaws I would remove as they are non-functional and are likely to be painfully ripped off.
Yes, there are Jindos that have rear dewclaws and even double-dewclaws. There are some Koreans that wrongly believe that they indicate a closer kinship with Chinese wolves.
There's currently a shelter Jindo (not available yet) in LA county-Carson shelter which seems to have the double dewclaws. The outer ones tends to stick out perpendicular to the leg.
Belongs to this guy:
My moms Shitzu has its front dew claws and he rips them on EVERYTHING!
No I don't! :P
I know of a chow mix with rear dew claws.
You can't really see them, but this is the only photo I got of her. She was a really sweet girl!
