or paws. So i noticed this the other day. The two middle pads of all of his feet but one, are connected by a bridge twoards the bottom. Is this from bad breeding or just a wild card?

I am not an idiot i know they don't have hooves thats called a joke, you may have heard of it before? Hence why i said "or paws" below.

I'm confused. Can you send a picture of them?

if it is a mutation it is most likely just a wild card. But if his breeding is bad then you would find the trait in his ancestors too i suppose ... so it could be either... if its a mutation.
a mutation is when there is a change in the DNA and it can happen all by itself. A mutation can be passed to children just like other traits (ie brown eyes)

MAYBE SOME Basenji in his lineage?
google basenji Paws and see that the pads are joined

Hmmm...I've never seen anything like that.It's obviously a mutation of some sort.Ask the breeder to tell you who bought the other puppies,so you can see if they have it,too.I don't think it will cause him any problems,though.I'm sure your vet will know something about it.

I think it is a wild card, but it's pretty strange isn't it? I wonder if it will affect him in anyway?
