Love nibbles, anyone?

[MikaMay]

Do other Boxers give what I call love nibbles?
After I got Mika and we bonded, she would take her very front teeth and nibble up and down my arm -- almost as if nibbling up and down an ear of corn.
Just recently, Greta, who will be 2 in Oct., did the same to me, only just on my hand. She nuzzled the palm of my hand then proceeded to do the nibble.
I often see the two girls do it to each other....they will lick each other's ears, etc, then will go to nibbling each other..usually on the chest, neck, or legs.
It is clearly a sign of affection and the only way I can describe it is *love nibbles* It's really very sweet only on occasion I get lightly pinched.
Just wonder if this is a boxer trait....

No, Minxie does not give love nibbles. Although I knew a Boxer named Jacques that did. It is very cute!

Yep Austin does it! We call it "getting some corn" since it's like he's eating corn on the cob! It tickles and the more we laugh the more he corns us!

Yup, Kaia does it, but really only to Daddy.

Lucy likes to nibble our ears, and Fred is starting to do it too, but he makes a cute little noise as he nibbles.:D

Yup, Kaia does it, but really only to Daddy.

Does the nose count? If so, Caney does this to daddy when she's licking his face -- I think when she gets excited she accidentally nibbles his nose, he doesn't appreciate it very much So I guess it's more of a nose CHOMP than a love nibble But she only does it to him, she is very sweet with me :D

Yep same thing at my house, I do get it every now and then.

Rocky has always done this too. When he was a pup he did it more often but at two and a half years he still does it on occasion. He now seems to prefer licking, licking and more licking...

Ilsa does this as well. She actually does it quite often when she is being super calm and sweet. More around nap-time and bedtime. She even does it with her little chewbaca growl if she is in play mode. That one is even funnier. We call it flea bites since it looks like what dogs do when they are chewing on themselves with their front teeth.
