Slade is 10 mnths old and still not really cuddly, unless the grass is wet and he doesn't want to walk on
Then he is all about being in mommy's arms.
Some dogs just arent' cuddlers.
With my big dog, she was a cuddler from the time she was a puppy. I can't remember her ever not wanting to cuddle. But she was real sickly as a puppy, so maybe that had something to do with it. She is my velcro dog, if she is out around the house she wants to be right next to me. At night when we sleep she has to curl beside me and "spoon". If I move, she moves to get closer. Its like she cant' sleep unless i'm touching her.
