Why do Dogs have specific sleeping positions? Any thoughts on a Husky cross? 


As a first time dog owner I am quite watchful about the minutiae of dog behaviour. From an 8 week puppy to a 9 month old adolescent he has always liked sleeping either firmly pressed against two sides. For example in his crate he sleeps almost in an L shape. Today he is sleeping pressed firmly all four paws against a sofa. 


My question is whether this is normal for all dogs or maybe specific for Huskies? He is a Siberian Spaniel so around 75% Husky and 25% Cocker Spaniel. Just curious .

    My 10y0 husky girl loves sleeping on her back with legs up the wall or sofa…don’t know if she just likes the cool air on her belly 😉 know she’s content and completely relaxed when in this position.
