Guest Champ606 Posted August 5, 2008 Report Share Posted August 5, 2008 Hello Guys! Check this out! we where away in sunny Barmouth for the weekend with our Grey/Saluki x Bitza bitch and we where running her on the beach and I was playing with my niece digging some holes in the sand and our dog decided to follow suit and dig a hole in the sand the perfect size for her to lay down in and climbed in! I couldnt believe it!!! Has any one seen anything like this before? Quote Link to post
lurchergrrl 1,441 Posted August 5, 2008 Report Share Posted August 5, 2008 My lurcher likes to lie on the sand but the greyhound will dig a hole and get right in if she's really hot. This hole wasn't quite finished Quote Link to post

jeffo 0 Posted August 5, 2008 Report Share Posted August 5, 2008 we have a collie greyhound lurcher when we go to the beach we chuck a biggish stone for her and she chases after it then drops it on the sand and starts digging around it and flicks it out with her front legs she then gets the stone again and drops it back were she was digging and then does the same again untill she got a big hole she lay in the hole have a rest and then carry on again with the same stone digging and flicking it out again Quote Link to post

I couldnt believe it!!! Has any one seen anything like this before? I've known dogs do that in snow too. I think it's a "if it's cold (snow), it will help keep you warm (like an igloo) and if it's warm, digging a bed into the sand will help keep you cool" thing. Did she turn round and round and round and round before finally laying in the hole? Whatever, - Clever dog! Quote Link to post

Yes she was digging and turning at the same time and eventually she got it just right and dropped herself in there, it was quite a warm day and she had been running round for 30 minutes non stop with my girlfriends, Dads Lurcher and I think like you say was very hot! Clever girl haha! Quote Link to post
allgame 0 Posted August 6, 2008 Report Share Posted August 6, 2008 most dogs dig hip holes(what i call them) for us they learn to when their on the chian when where away but even at home, it's more comfortable and gets them out of the wind and its also cooler Quote Link to post
