In other words, the border direction should match the quilt direction.

I would have the feet pointing out, so they it's symmetrical. To me, pointing down would look like a mistake, since they point outward the rest of the way around, if I'm understanding you right. Since you're not keeping it, you don't know how it might be used. Just my two cents.

Hmm... I don't think there's a should at all. Although I'd tend to have all the feet point out as well. So it'll look like doggies running in a circle around the quilt.
Or if you decide to define a top and bottom (by having the "top dogs" with feet pointing inwards), perhaps considere putting one doggie in a corner of the centre somewhere, to help define the direction?
Just saying to confuse you further, erm I mean... so you know you can't go wrong whichever way you choose! :D
