years ago had a jack russell who used to do that and cut her belly on carpet :laugh: :laugh:

Like said above...."helps to cool them down"....canines have thin skin in this region with a lot of capillaries, close contact with the ground allows good heat absorption from the body.....well that's what i reckon,lol! Sounds good!!

my russel does it, funny wee thing

[tripletree 75]

I've got 5 whippets but only the one lies like that
