Default Bailey loves "shelter"

Is it a Doodle trait to like to be under things? If Bailey isn't laying on a couch or bed, she's almost always sleeping UNDER something. Examples:

She loves to lay/sleep under the futon in my office:



Or under a dining room chair:



Or underfoot while I'm working:



She also sometimes likes to "burrow" under the mattress in her kennel:

I always considered it typical doodle behaviour but I never really asked anyone else. I have a denmaker too. She sleeps under a chair during her daytime naps.

haha! Yes, my mini Bailey also loves to bury her head in anything!!?? If she is on her mat, her head is always under the blanket, and if she is on your lap for cuddles, she burys her head in your arm pit! haha So cute!!!! Must be a doodle trait!!!?!?

AWWWWWW......How SWEET!!! Bailey! You are just too precious!!!

Bogart isn't quite the same. But, he DOES LOVE his crate. He goes in there at night and several times a day.
He also loves to "create nests". He scratches and paws a blanket, rug or sheet into a pile to lie on.

What a cutie! Samson sure does love laying under my feet - but going "under" anything - NOPE, he barked and whined at me last night when he knocked his bone under the coffee table, he didn't want to go under the table to retrieve it....LOL!!!

How cute!!! Nope Tia won't even let me put a blanket on her. Of course it doesn't mean much if there is nothing for her to get under. She doesn't use her crate anymore and I have stuff under my bed (it is too low down anyway), we don't have a table for her to go under. So she likes to look out our windows instead.

Cute pictures!! I laughed at "under the matressin her kennel" I don't see that one a lot...but under other things? Yes! Dogs do love to feel protected and they "take cover" to feel secure. My adult Godlendoodle (boy) was being rudely humped at the dog park and so my boy just came over to my chair and climbed under it. Humping solved!
