Yes it is very interesting. My herding instructor said its like being left handed or right handed. My CH Star HT,PT hates going counter clock wise and we also had to work on that. Joy did say that some dogs, like some people that can write with both hands, can go both ways with no problems. I just don't have one of those dogs! :>) Judy Home of: 2004/2005/2006 Nationally Ranked BISS Am/Can/Intl CH Magical Memories v Riata Edan 2006 South West Best In Maturity Oh The Places You'll Go of Edan CH Bokenkamp's Katch A Falling Star HT, PT Breeders and Co Owners of: 2004 RBIF Intl CH Bah Humbug of Riata Edan (major to finish) ============================================================================ POST is Copyrighted 2006.
