The dogs are long dead, but here goes: About 25 years ago, an inbred Jeenellyn bitch (no Lance) was bred to a male whose lines went back to Hessian's Baldur. There was one male pup in the litter with rear dew claws. I haven't had them since. This bitch was also bred to Select Ch JJ and Darby Dan's Dojo, with no resulting rear dew claws.
