That is not a true statement. First what do you consider "affectionate"? I had a male who despised being hugged and he was trained.
He tolerated me if I hugged him. But since I knew I was being disrespectful to him, I didn't. Training has nothing to do with affection. You are putting human emotions into this. Dogs can't "think" human. Rotties are a noble breed. Treat them with dignity and respect. If one doesn't like hugs, then don't hug but that doesn't mean they aren't affectionate. He would have done anything I asked of him within reason. My current Rottie is a very affectionate dog. He'll accept hugs from us, but he rather have his chest rubbed not hugged.
