    I was just doing shake and high-five with Nova and she used her right paw repeatedly. Maybe she's ambidextrous?

    Mickey's very left pawed, but still does things with his right.. I guess he's ambidextrous just like Nova.

    I really don't know I don't psy attention. I usually just say right paw or left paw and he gives me his paw, or other paw.

    I haven't noticed a definate preference for most of them, except when they are working. I actually have a list who runs on which side of the gangline. Pacer absolutely can not run on the left. He has to be on the right. Antare is a lefty as is Pingo. Most of the sled dogs have a strong preference for one side.

    I am not sure that Ginger has a preference. Shake and high five she uses her left paw (but I am right-handed), but digging or reaching for something, I think she will use her right paw first (then both if she still doesn't get what she wants). My RB girl was very definitely left-pawed.
