Otis will do the same thing..piling it up into a ball, and then just lays ontop of it, doesn't look very comfy, but he swears by it..our podengo does it as well..

I think it is a Dog thing, maybe from when they were wild and had to scratch up leaves, twigs,dirt etc to make a comfy bed

Mine does it but also likes to dig. Just recently had to flip a couch cushion over because he had dug through the fabric. :rolleyes:
It's his one spot where he likes to sleep while I'm away.

Yes mine all do it. Interestingly when I got caught outdoors in a snow storm when out walking several Basenjis, one of mine went under a bush and dug herself a burrow in the earth. Probably this is what I call, a race memory.

Mine digs halfway to China trying to make the perfect nest. Takes at least 10 minutes to get it right. Sometimes she sends the sofa pillows flying across the room!

Cody makes nests, but he also makes a cave. He'll pile all the pillows and blankets on my bed in such a way that he makes a nice comfy bed, but he also has a pile behind him and a little on top of him.

AJ tries to dig up every area that's his to sleep in. Lately, his favorite place to dig is in front of the passenger seat where I have it built up for him. I keep my computer under there, so I have to stop him before he gets that far.
