some dogs are kissy some just arnt. all 5 of mine are kissy dogs, shadow however is not, never has been, in 8 years I got maybe 3 kisses from her, some people she kisses more then others, but the way I think of it, is a kiss from a dog like shadow is special because she does not kiss everyone all the time, so when you do get a kiss from jasper, think of it as special
