A Tail Of An Abnormal Dog

I have two dogs. a german shephard and a lab. my lab has four toes on
her back legs, but my german shephard has five toes. is that normal?

Dear Stella,
well, most dogs have five toes on their back legs, and some breeds
have six, so it seems that your dog has a mutation. this isn't that
unusual-- many cats have an abnormal number of toes.
