    There is actually a simple way to see if they are left or right pawed. I was told that the direction the dog turns when it gos into a crate is usually its "dominate paw" and they will usually only turn one direction

    All this is so interesting. I had to google paw preference, and came across a bunch of interesting info. They actually did a research on this...lol

    Star seems to be ambidextrous, if you ask her to shake, she usually offers her left paw first, then offers you her right paw. sherman doesn't shake, but he seems to prefer hanging out on Star's right side when we walk together. I was just noticing this yesterday!

    Sadie girl is left-pawed! She always uses her left paw to shake.

    Logan hates having her right paw touched in anyway, but she raises it when she's stalking or excited and to swip at her toys. So I guess she's a righty.
