My Welsh Arab hated any sort of cuddling, let alone kissing. If he couldn't get away he'd stand there with a look of absolute disgust on his face and be grouchy afterwards.
My ID used to love kisses, but not on the nose, no he wanted a proper kiss on the lips. When I first got him as a 2yo things nearly went very wrong between us because I couldn't understand why he kept coming at my face with his mouth slightly open and he was clearly upset and confused when I moved away. A chance conversation with his breeder's daughter made things clear and for the rest of his life he had proper kisses on demand - he'd stand there for ages lips to lips with his eyes nearly shut and a look of bliss on his face.
My current Welsh Cob would probably see it as grounds for calling the RSPCA!
