blacklabrador Posted February 15, 2010 Share Posted February 15, 2010 (edited) Patting, stroking, muzzle chewing, Bitty and Bubby love it all!!!!! I wouldn't do it to any other dog besides my own though! You chew their muzzles? Hehehe just a bit of soft chomp! No teeth! They have very chubby cheeks perfect for chomping on!!! I draw the line at kissing their heads and ears. I would not put my mouth near a dogs mouth - they eat raw meat and lick their bums.

~Shepherd~ Posted February 15, 2010 Author Share Posted February 15, 2010 (edited) Was it in the context of meeting a new dog, or a dog that you are quite familiar with. I think a little more clarity is warranted before people can truly comment. Just in case you missed my question the first time. just in case you missed post 13 http://www.dolforums.com.au/index.php?s=&a...t&p=4331619 ETA: Well, I missed page 3, so I'm as bad as you Any trainers going to add an opinion?

WreckitWhippet Posted February 15, 2010 Share Posted February 15, 2010 (edited) Most of mine couldn't care less if it's a pat, stroke or a slap under the chops. They come back for more with the tails wagging and there's no hand shy dog in this house. I did manage to insult Ronin with one of my slaps, when I walked out and gave him one in the usual style. I forgot he wasn't one of mine ETA: strange dogs, timid dogs etc. No way Edited February 15, 2010 by SBT123 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

We have a shy dog and I ask people to only touch her under her chin or on her chest. If a man tries to pat our male on the head he will back away, again, people should pat strange dogs under chins not on top. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bubitty Posted February 15, 2010 Share Posted February 15, 2010 Hehehe yes I know where they have been! Never been sick from them so I'm not fussed which is strange because I would NEVER share food or eating utensils with a fellow human! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

SpikesPuppy Posted February 15, 2010 Share Posted February 15, 2010 If I'm trying to razz my dogs up (get them on their toes for the showring etc), I soft thump them on the head, pull their beards & slap them under the chins (all gently!). It sure get's 'em hyped up But they are my dogs and they don't seem to mind it?? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Monah Posted February 15, 2010 Share Posted February 15, 2010 I have been prompted to post this picture of my Pointer from our DOL meet today.That's him with his head shoved between someone's hands... eyes closed in rapture. He always does that when he's irritated. Poor little bastard. Is that a pointer?? It sure is. Solid orange Pointer. He's so beautiful! Yes he is!! Never seen that lovely colour. Any better photos of him? I LOVE pointers have a hungarian and italian, would love another italian (bracco) and an english!!!! Lovely.xxx Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bisart Dobes Posted February 15, 2010 Share Posted February 15, 2010 Ours forcefully put their heads under your hand for pats, rubs, strokes - whatever you or anyone else is willing to offer - couldn't stop them if I tried. I was recently at a show standing talking to a Samoyd exhbititor and clapped for the prior breed results when one of her dogs on the trolley stuck his muzzle in between my hands while I was clapping - he thought it was very funny indeed, so I kept clapping to amuse him - he loved it.

blacklabrador Posted February 15, 2010 Share Posted February 15, 2010 Here are some more. He's still a leggy youngster with more head development and body development to go. He's extremely handsome and beautifully natured though. He was bred by a DOL member called "Zurhaan" and she leased Ashanali's bitch, Sunni, for the mating. Solid pointers are not common in Australia but hell they should be! Hopefully they will become more popular with time. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Aww, damn he's cute. Yes you dooooo!!! I've never had a dog make so much eye contact (when there are no distractions that is!) but he will sit with me for hours while I "pat" him and kiss him and he just stares into my eyes. Seriously having a pointer is more romantic than having a bloke. They eat about as much though. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mooper Posted February 15, 2010 Share Posted February 15, 2010 Around here, we call pats "kid pats", because it's what most kids seem to do after asking if they can pat Jack. He can't get enough of it He does the full-on bum-waggle of appreciation. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
