Spitfire is people adverse and was stand offish to me when I first got him. But this morning he popped up on my lap to get petted as he frequently does now. Other people though he only has a couple that he consistently likes. Others are based on his mood.

Sca on the other hand LOVES everyone and gets excited to visit. However when I pet him he gets all wiggly and excited and has to charge off to do something before long. So he cuddles about zero

I've got one of each. Ally just does not wag her tail for people, the only exception is when we've been gone on vacation and come home, then her tail goes! She is not a cuddler either and hates being held unless she is scared or really, really tired.

Asta wags her tail a little, but not a lot. She is my cuddlebug though. At 30 pounds she's big for a lap dog but we make it work!

My friend's 11 week old boy Palmer is too busy zooming around investigating everything and every toy to pay much attention to people, but he will give a couple kisses if you scoop him up to cuddle him.

Shelties aren't Labs, that's for sure.

My two are littermates and are complete opposites when it comes to snuggling and kisses.

Edan isn't much of a cuddler though as he gets older he is deciding he wants snuggles on his terms. (He's 6 years old currently.) He also doesn't give kisses often. I know he loves me though because he follows me everywhere and has to know where I am. If I don't come home with "dad" he scours the entire house, outside, and cars until he's satisfied I'm not hiding on him... then he sulks by the door until I come home.

CJ, on the other hand, is the opposite. She's a snuggle bug and loves to give kisses. She's the one who will curl up on your lap and go to sleep.
