Staffie affection

Tyson's favourite way of being extra affectionate with me (besides cuddling) is to make small nibbling motions with his front teeth. Sometimes however, he catches some flesh usually in inappropriate places. . How does your staff show 'affection'?

Usually by trying to lick my ear or by wiggeling his back end so hard I think his tail is going to fly off lol

She does a wierd thing, would love to know if others do it, when I get home from work say, her whole body wiggles along with her tail and she grins at you showing her teeth! Looks a little scary if you didn't know it was affectionate!

when i was a kid we used to have a sky cross cairn terrier that used to greet us with its teath like that, and he made a weird "shhkkeeerch shhkkeeerch" kinda sound. you just brought back some fond memories of that little pooch.

Yes, Moo makes that strange noise also, its kinda bizarre! Thought maybe they all did it, but my first didn't. Tis rather amusing

Lottie will just lean against you and give you a big smile and a soppy look Lemmy will just lick your chin. He will come up and get on his back legs to see you and when you lean in he kisses your chin

chester has a really long tongue that he licks what ever he can with! willow is more reserved and gives you a push!

Lexi does the staffy grumble but at the same time licks (shes a very shy dog) so it sounds like shes going "om nom nom nom" then burps. Always finishes with a burp.

I love this Janey... I can just see her doing it. My old boy used to do something similar

Oh Lynne its comical!

You must video it lol

You can't snap it! She only does it when you bend down to her and she parades around the room litterally wiggling and about a metre before you face she does a strange grin, ends up with a nose nibble then she does it again. Strange little thing!

Charlie growls which ends in a low whuff while wagging his back end and when you lean down, he gives a big sloppy kiss

When we get in Rocky always brings us something be it his blanket from his crate, one of his favourite toys, a chewy rubber chicken drumstick or one of our shoes.

He makes a very satisfied grumbly noise that has us in stitches laughing at him and again his whole body will wagg not only his tail.

We always get this very warm welcome so does anyone else that visits us.

Diesel generally goes nuts, tail wagging frantically, toungue hanging out, she will kinda lean against my legs and them roll onto her back

Unfortunately as I'm allergic to dog saliva I can't let her shower me with staffy kisses, the only safe place is my palms sometimes she will nibble my nails with her front teeth in-between licks lol !

Lucky for me she knows what ' no licking' means now

If he's extra excited to see me when I come in he'll say 'aroorororooow'.
Usually he just head-butts me though and tries to french kiss me

when Lottie is happy and plkeased to see you she wiggles like a snake with the tail wagging and the whole bum and everything too.

Sounds just like Suki. It doesn't matter if you've been gone 8 hours or 10 minutes she still does her little dance.

Russell is the typical wiggler, wiggles a LOT

Violet does her 'camel'. Her back goes into a hump, and she stampilly teeters about, tail going mad, then she grabs anything that's lying about and brings it to you like "WOW this is just the best present ever!!!!" even if it's a scabby old sock out of the washing basket

She tends to sit infront of us and makes odd noises then kisses aswell as her hippy shake lol

More oddly you have to avoid her at all costs when you get out the showe/bath she chases you so she can lick your feet she has a real thing about feet!

Jethro is abit like Violet..when we get home he runs to find one of his toys or biscuits and starts throwing it in the air..barking..all the while his tail goes round and round in circles....we call him helicopter tail!

Winston loves to catch you off guard and leap at your face to try to lick your nose...yesterday me and him collided heads..I have a bruise and lump above my right eye..he nearly knocked me out! It hurt!

I feel your pain! I've been headbutted a few times by Charlie the tank, soooo painful!

...I know Shontelle.. and Winston didn't even bat an eyelid! I was seeing stars!

Ledger does the whole body wag and when I collect him from my parents he jumps up on the sofa and puts his front paws over my shoulders for a proper hug

Milly wraps her paws around my neck and pushes her face against mine.She is very loving towards us.Sometimes to much
