Hello- that question is rather interesting. You never really know what type of dog your going to get. The best way to see what your dog will be like is to meet him, or her, and get to know him before adopting. You could also preform personality tests(YouTube has some videos on that) and just play with them. Based off of my personal experiences you can tell early on what your dogs manurisms will be(that includes licking your face)! Hope this helps!! Good luck!
