Why does he nibble??

[uehling]

Our boxer Murry does this too.... he doesn't bite hard, just nibbles. He likes to do it to my hands or ears.... to me it's a sign of affection.

reminds me of someone eating an ear of corn!!!

That's funny, we've always called it corn-cobbing !!!

I've got 2 Pekegniese, and they BOTH do this to me when I scratch their back right above the tail. I can't tell if they are biting for fleas, or loving me back....LOL. Can't wait to see if Samson will do this. Kinda cute.

When precious does it, it pinches. And she's always trying to nibble the under (softer) part of my arms and arm pit. Makes no sense to me!

Little Bites

My Petey, almost 9 years old has been doing that since he was a puppy. We call it "little bites". He always did that to my arm and if another dog, any dog would tolerate it he would do "little bites" on their necks. Never hurt us, we just thought it was so cute. Now that he is older does it only once in a great while. It must be a Boxer thing!!!
