It depends on the golden and the owner /how they train.

My goldens lick if I let them! They especially love lotion! It's up to you as the parent to teach them what is OK or not.

 

Tucker goes insane trying to lick me after putting lotion on or getting out of the shower!

 

Paige is my kisser. She loves to give kisses.

Sydney is more of a hugger. Rarely kisses, but lots and lots of hugs

 

Indy will lick your hand especially if you have put lotion on

 

I wonder what it is about lotion. Tucker loves it!

 

I don't understand your poll.
You mean you want a dog who doesn't lick? Well some goldens do and some don't.
Some people train their golden that licking is not OK and some people don't care.

 

My grandgolden LOVES my perfume and ALWAYS is trying to lick my neck!!! He's a vampire! My daughter says he just loves me so much.HA!

 

Cody isn't a major licker.
But we have tough him to "kiss" and he will always kiss on command, lol
its a great distraction from nipping our small kids.
and I was able to teach him this at 8 weeks of age, he is so smart!

Awesome. I have posted this sooo many times...I do the same thing...I just say kisses or Lick Lick. Id rather them do that than nip...

 

Lucy's a kisser. If you ask for a kiss, you'll get one.

 

Jesse is a hugger and a licker. He loves to lick your ears, and sometimes it is hard to stop him.

Quizzy could care less about licking, but he loves to hug.

 

we are working with Blush to stop her licking. she loves it & also is a hugger. we say Layla has a "ninja tongue" as she will jump up (won't touch you with her feet) and kiss you on the cheek. she doesn't lick, just a quick touch...

 

My dogs don't like much cos not crazy about it!.

 

Emma only kisses on request if strangers are involved, she would never jump on people. She suffers if she is ignored but she never approaches a person if ignored, she has her manners! Goldens behave the way you train them, really. Of course she is more than happy to show her love if invited!
We, on the other hand are melted when she kisses or licks us, she is such a cuddly baby. She also kisses on command.

 

Tysen will lick fingers and stuff but will only lick your face if he is really excited and then it's usually one lick and done.

 

Jack never licks..cali on the other hand will lick you to death! lol So it depends on your golden, they all are different and have different personalities

 

Asia rarely licks. She will put her nose up for me to kiss her and loves to hug.

 

tucker is a kisser big time! He'll get in my bed and put his head on my chest and when I stop petting him he'll flip his lip out on my mouth like, PAY ATTENTION MOM! Ugh! He likes to slide them in when I'm petting him anytime. If you're face is in range, he'll flip up and get you every time.

 

Kirby only kisses when we ask him. He loves giving hugs, though. But, he's foot licker!! He loves it when we take our socks off and let him lick our toes. It really feels good!! My first golden, Sandy, did that, too, and I really missed that when we had our Malamute because she'd never lick my feet. Even when I'd stick them right in her face!! :no:

 

Cruiser is a hugger, Hootie isnt either, he just loves to lay on your lap, Maggie is a kisser, and Abbie aka Tricky Licky Lou is ocd with licking and she hugs.

 

Tucker is not much of a kisser. It disappoints me, but it makes the ones he does give me more special.

 

Goldens, quickly learn what you believe is exceptable. My goldens treat people differently according to thier experiences. Adult don't get licked much unless allowed, but toddlers get licked a lot.

 

My golden licks me here and there, but my pug licks OBSESSIVELY.

 

Mitchell is a major kissing bug, but it takes lotion for Hailey to kiss, and it doesn't matter what lotion it is either. Very strange... but cute... So I don't know how to answer the poll. I have one of each!

 

I actually set it so you can pick more than one answer if it applies. Wow never thought this question would be so popular. Thanks for all the answers you guys.:wave:

 

ince ive been at school i come home 2-3 times a month.... the past few months when ever i come home marley will jump up on me... paws on the shoulders and lick my face

 

Lucky only licks me to get my attention. Its a bribe for a chest or back scratch (I lick you...you scratch me....).

He licks my son from the top of his head to the neck...My son sweats alot and I think LUcky likes that salt.

He treats my daughter like me.

But when it comes to my husband, Lucky is the lickiest...out of pure adoration. My husband hates it. Everyone else treasures his kisses but it drives my husband crazy..he tolerates it for a bit, but then hubby puts an end to it.
