Yes he is a snuggler- that was me holding him while I sat on the couch at my parents' house It was so fun, I did not want to go home! Lucky for me, I live close by!
I think he has a great disposition- no matter what he is doing, when you pick him up, he snuggles right in. But then again, all G. Retrievers are good-natured I think.

Last weekend my sister & brother-in-law called and wanted to 'babysit' him for a couple days. My Mom said okay, but only a couple days or she would miss him too much.
They had alot of fun going to a local beach/park, and got alot of attention from people wanting to see and pet him.
( I THINK he might get a bit spoiled )

Oh and K9Karen: his name is Sammy
