Do pit bulls have 5 toes on hind feet?

Most have 4 but I Know of a Mexican breeder who breeds for this. They sell for more because they are stronger. Normally they will have thicker muscles on their back legs too. They are not more aggressive. The parents of the puppy I just got were very well behaved. They will have 5 full sized toes plus a dew claw. The breeder was in Conroe Texas and sells through Craigslist.Only a polydactyl has extra toes, and there is nothing different about them from other dogs of the same breed with less toes except for having extra toes. In some cases, if the dog has too many extra toes, it may pose a health risk and make walking uncomfortable, but a dog with just five looks and behaves like a four toed dog.

It's a pretty common trait, and there is usually no ill effects.
