Usually dogs will do this if they are scared of being hit, or have a past history of being hit....but it's not like Stedman has. He's always done that though....it is the weirdest thing He will lay right beside you (really, really close, snuggled up) and sometimes in your lap, but he is NOT a "hold me" dog...and if you try and hug him close to you (like to your chest), he will pull away I think he feels like he is being suffocated, LOL.

Tatum though? You could squeeze her to pieces...she doesn't care LOL

Steddie and Hope must be cut of the same cloth... she wants to be SO CLOSE but dont even try to hold her...

Aubrey will let anyone pet him.. but Dakota she doesn't really like it, it takes her time to get use to you.

LOL, exactly Stedman will let you hold him (although he doesn't really PREFER it ) but you cannot hold him too "close" to you as he will start wiggling to get down. He's tricky...you kind of have to hold him off to your side...like you would a baby. I swear, he is just the pickiest little guy lol

ALL MINE LOVE TO BE PETTED.
they will make me if I don't by putting their head under my hand
they sleep with me,they follow mw around the house,
they are spoiled rotten. and I love every minute

Both of mine LOVE being petted. The only thing they like better is getting treats!
