Most of my dogs have been quite cuddly except for one, who never sought out affection. If I attempted to cuddle him, he seemed to be embarrassed more than anything else. If I persisted, he would wriggle free, stand a short distance away and stare at me. He was a rescue of unknown history; he was found wandering city streets.
I had another one who would be extremely affectionate for 10-15 minutes at a specific time each evening and was pretty much uninterested the rest of the time. I never did figure that one out. There didn't appear to be any triggers for it that I could find. He would let me pet him or whatever anytime, but didn't really get into it except at his special time.
Another time I had The Corgi from Hell. He could be in the middle of committing the most awful sort of mischief, but I could pick him up and hold him and he would become a cuddly little angel! That one had been through about three or four homes before I got him, so who knows what had happened to him.
