Does your GSD sort of shake hands.....
But with their nose instead??? When I get home from work, usually after the dogs settle down, I get the nose in the hand greeting from Perle, Sable and Hannah, not just a touch, but where they root their nose into my hand. The first time this happened was about 12 years ago with a friends shepherd named Amber. Having just eaten dinner, I thought she had smelled some food odor on my hand, but she was not sniffing, she just pushed her whole snout into my hand and held it there for several seconds. I notice only GSDs seem to do this. Jazzy will extend her nose, but she will move her head around if you try to touch her nose. Maxie too, was a big time snout in hand greeter. Does anybody else's GSD do this, or any other dogs for that matter??
