Afic,

Welcome to the list!

I've known of a couple of people who have had dogs from programs trained 
to work on the right. It may take you longer to get a dog, but they can 
do that. I'm an owner-trainer and left-handed, so I train my dogs to 
work on the right to leave my dominant hand free. It works for us.
