I have three adult Rottweilers and one puppy. I’ve noticed that they have a happy pant. They will pant when they are happy, even when there is no reason for them to be hot.
*
Another thing is that when they are low on physical affection they will misbehave the same as when they are low on exercise. I have seen the boy spazzing out several times and he calmed down and behaved well after I pet him for a few minutes.
*
They also really like to be hugged. My wife was leery for a while, because generally you should never have your face in a cat’s face nor a dog’s face. I tell myself I would know if my dogs did not want to be hugged, maybe I’m wrong. Anyways, they will climb up and lay on my lap if I stop hugging them too early. (If you’ve never raised a strong dog, you probably should not go hug a rottie after reading this.)
*
One problem I have created is that my dogs think they can be this physically affectionate with other people. If the other people are strong enough to handle the dog, they’re scared of what’s happening. They will jump up and hug you… unless you’re delivering the mail or showing up unannounced at 2AM - that’s different.
*
I wish I had one of these dogs in my late teens and into my twenties - would have helped me learn to handle my emotions a lot better.
