Default Dew claws and Corgy genetics

Hey!

Not been too active on this group lately, but if y'all don't mind, I
have a question... :-)

Willow was playing growly in my lap earlier tonight, and I noted that he
had dew claws (thumbs) on his back paws...

Willow is a Welsh Corgy/Sheltie cross, or so we assume. He is a stray so
we really don't know his background... His appearance suggests that and
my vet agrees. He looks like a black and white Sheltie with short legs
and a foxy face.

None of our other three dogs have a dew claw on their back feet. Two are
pure bred Shelties and the other is a Border Collie. All three of them
only have 4 toes on the rear paws. My Australian Shepard that passed
away in April also only had 4 rear toes.

Just curious, is this a genetic trait of Corgies?

Thanks!
K.
