Which dog breeds are born with dew claws?

I have 2 dogs I rescued as pups, and have been trying to identify their breeds so I can get a better idea of any possible disposition and breed ‘quirks’. Teri has a huge head, shaped like an American Pit Bull’s head, and a broad chest. His coloring is like a golden lab, except for a very light dusting of black around his nose and muzzle. He has black splotches on his tongue, and dew claws on all four legs, but the ones on the hind legs dangle loosely. Out of five dogs, Teri is the only one with rear dew claws. He whines a lot, especially when crated, but when he barks or howls, he bays like a hound dog. He has a very sweet, shy, gentle and loving disposition, even towards the two cats and other dogs (most of the time), and usually won’t fight back too hard when Ralph attacks him (both have been neutered), but today a scuffle turned more serious and left Ralph limping, with a sore, bleeding foreleg, now swollen at the knee joint. Ralph also drew blood, but it doesn’t look as serious.

Some breeds of dogs are born with rear dew claws, some are not. Some (like Great Pyrneese) are born with double rear dewclaws. Some breeds of dogs (like Samoyeds) can be born with or without or with double. A lot of breeders have dewclaws removed shortly after birth.

You need to take control of your dogs. *You* need to let them know you are the boss and fighting is not allowed. Allowing dogs to scuffle to the point there is bloodshed is a recipe for disaster and if not taken care of now could lead to serious injury or death of your dog.
