Answer
Hello Vera,
How did he lose his toes?  Were they bitten off, did he have an accident or was he born without them.  If he was born without them, I would get a contract that says you will have the pup X-rayed to make sure there are no other abnormalities.  If there are, the breeder can pay for the vet bill and take the money back and refund your money.
I am sure everything is fine, but you just never know, and wouldn't you feel safer knowing before hand, so that if something else is seriously wrong you don't get a broken heart.
