Why don't I ever see people giving their Australian Shepherds love?

Not that I've seen abuse or anything, I just haven't seen any other fellow Aussie owners show love towards their dogs. Maybe a pat or something after they put them in agility courses, but sometimes I feel like I'm the only one (of the people I know) who truly cuddles and lets my Aussie sleep on me while watching TV. He's hyper too but very lovable and will relax. If anyone else does this with Aussies please let me know. It'll be reassuring. I don't ever see pictures or videos of owners showing love towards this breed, either.
