I've noticed when visiting friends that some dogs love to slobber over my hands and face! Some even try and lick people's legs. Are there some breeds that obsess over licking more than others? I've heard that labradors do.

Also, what are your opinions on letting a dog lick you? Some people think it's disgusting, others allow it freely.

My poodle is a major licker. Luckily, he's not slobbery but he does like to 'taste' everyone.

.......... I HATE TWO FACED PEOPLE...ITS SO HARD TO KNOW WHICH FACE TO SLAP FIRST!

I don't allow my dogs to lick especially faces - yuk

Zipper will lick your hands if you are not stoking him and he wants a cuddle
I don't think there are any breeds in particular - maybe gun dogs as they are trained to use their mouths - I think it is how they are "trained"

My 3 rotts are major lickers lunas like a bloody car wash if she licks you your soaked! jojo is a licker too (staffie but also a sliy nibbler lol)

Our staffy is the licker from hell and we have found it near impossible to stop him doing it, our japanese spitz doesn't lick at all really and my pug x only does it if you try and kiss her first. Our lhasa doesn't have the energy to move his head from his pillow let alone lick anyone.
My mums pugs are mega lickers, and the pups she has had have all been the same...and they do lick whatever part of your body they can get to

Cola is licky sometimes but shes not slobbery so I dont mind it! LOL

I know a lady with 2 airdales and they always have a long line of drool hanging from their mouth and try to lick everyone

My retriever licks my feet, but it actually feels nice lol so I let her get on with it.

Dogs obviously lick some rather unpleasant substances- but their saliva is also an antiseptic.

A couple of times Lily has licked the baby's face (I was not quick enough to stop her) but she was all okay - no illness. Builds up the immune system, thats what I say.

pugs are known for being licky i guess because they are such greedy little monkeys they just want all the salt for themselves
