My dog is super affectionate; she loves to cuddle. she will lay her head right in your lap and sleep while you massage her head
. She thrives on kisses and hugs (both giving, and receiving). And a little head pat will make her day! Nisha is like my little shadow; if I leave the room to for ANY reason, she follows. She will get up of a dead sleep to follow even if I am just getting a water from the kitchen! If my BF and I are in separate rooms, she lays right in the middle so she can see us both
. There are rotts that are not "cuddlers", but their are also GSD that don't like it.
The affection level a dog wants depends on each individual dog. I know chihuahuas and maltese that would rather be left alone!
My advice...go for the rottie
!! You will fall in love....of course, I am a little biased!
