Shibas are born with dewclaws. Whether your puppy will have dewclaws depends on whether your breeder has decided to have them removed or not. If you are pre-ordering your pup, you might be able to choose if your pup’s dewclaws are removed or not. Dewclaws should only be removed within the first three days of life to avoid excessive bleeding, so if your pup is older when you reserve/get them and they have their dewclaws intact, they will (or at least should) stay that way.
