Do you let dogs lick your face?

Our Corgi likes to lick and I let her do a limited amount. I don't like the feeling of a dog's tongue on my face.

I don't mind a little. It looks like it has terrier in it.

I was only allowed to let my own dog lick my face, and I didn’t have a dog until I was eight. At eight, you can decide whether you want that or not. I have never let any dog lick my mouth though, just my face. I assume if the parents is allowing it, they know that the dog is not eating trash or poop, and after all, actual, real studies show in general, a dog’s mouth is cleaner than a human’s mouth (and people love to kiss babies). I remember the show “Mythbusters “ did an experiment to test it, and one of the hosts was indignant that an assistant’s dog had less bacteria than his own mouth.

Roscoe is the first dog I've ever had that insists on licking which I don't really like but it's how dogs tell each other they are loved. I tolerate a little licking but I'm hoping he'll stop one day .... I doubt he'll stop though.

I can not stand to see an animal licking someone's face and especially if it's a baby that's being licked. Too many germs.

My mother would forewarn me not to do this, but I did it anyway! I've had hundreds of doggie kisses:)

Somehow I don't remember my childhood dogs licking our faces . . . they all licked our hands a lot, which was ok. But I never liked being licked in the face by other dogs. I might allow 1 lick because it usually happens unexpectedly, but gotta stop it thereafter.

I don't. I might be the odd one out. I love dogs though. He is a terrier through and through..of what kind not sure.

I certainly don’t mind kisses from a furbaby.

I think it’s icky

@Judyev And what was the last thing the dog licked before it licked your face? That's why one ought never to let a dog lick one's face.

The dogs we had weren't lickers. Mike's Moms dog, Daisy, isn't a licker. So this hasn't been a problem for me That said, our beloved kitties Buttons and Ginger would lick us from time to time. Buttons more so. Mostly on our hands though.

I love doggy kisses but I woukdnt allow a day to lick all over a baby's face.

I think that's their way to show affection

Not a fan, Jax used to be a compulsive face licker, but I think he is reformed though.

Luna licks my hands when I pet her. I would never let her lick my face but she doesn´t do that. Dogs love to smell and lick but they are not picky. They can smell and lick butts and hands and faces. And they do smell poo (I don´t think that they lick it though). So after I play with Luna, I go and wash my hands with plenty of soap. I don´t mind if I have to go and wash many times a day.

I think the dog is a terrier of some sort.

I owned dogs before and did not let any of them lick my face.

It is a family rule to never allow a dog to lick my face because a dog may have some dirt on their tongue or other objects.

I allow my dog to lick my face as that's there way of expressing love.
