Lefty or Righty?

No, this is not a political discussion! :bounce:

Is it possible that dogs are left or right handed (pawed?)? Ricky gives every indication that he is left pawed. He constantly leads with his left paw and shows a preference to use his front left paw instead his right.

Any insights from the Havanese Nation out there?

I think it is possible that dogs are right or left side strong. Most dogs will protect in a certain direction. If they keep one side to the groomer like they have a weak side and the strong side so they keep the strong side toward the groomer. I know it sounds weird don't know how to explain it but I have noticed it and wondered the same thing Ricky's Popi

Animals, including dogs, are definitely "sided", just like people. Scientific studies have proven this. Here is one of many pop articles about this that you can Google, (pthough I can't find the research paper I've seen right now: Are dogs right-handed or left-handed? - Dogtime
