Bloodhound
Bloodhounds are invaluable to police officers around the world due to their sense of smell and athleticism. These qualities have helped them in their efforts to solve numerous missing persons cases and even helped a few particularly protective parents over the years. But with these gifts and instincts comes another dog with a strong sense of independence.
They don’t expect to be hugged and don’t like cuddling. Bloodhounds, while loyal, do not become particularly cuddly or sensitive. At most they will show affection by laying down near you or near your feet, but they will not molest you.
How do dogs show love and affection?
Dogs show their affection in their own way. This can vary depending on age, personality and also the type of dog breed. Each species has its own special way of showing love.

Belly rub, back scratch, expert behind the ear…this is not her personal preference. Some dogs are very cuddly and can sometimes even become like overly attached family members, while others are much more reserved. Let’s look at some of the main groups of dog breeds and their different ways of showing love and affection. Maybe this can help you figure things out. There are some tips on how to express your love to your dog (yes, love is a two-way street, let’s not forget that!).
Asian breeds such as Akita, Chow Chow and Shar-Pei are guard dogs. These dog breeds are suspicious and independent in nature. Their way of showing love is to stand by their master’s side. They can seem aloof as they like their own space and don’t like to lay on their men.
