Default Odd positioning

Just wondering if anyone else's dog(s) lay in weird positions... Angel lays like this all the time... never seen a dog sprawl out this way...

Oh, yeah. Bunch is almost always frog dogged. Her hips lay totally flat on the floor.

NCPG, go check out the Sunshine winner thread, I think it was Bullylover4ever's dog that won laying in that position. Mollie lays like that, but mostly she lays on her back, I've never had a dog sleep on their back like she does.

Here's that thread with Lexi

I always thought it was a pit bull thing, as those are the only ones I've seen doing it. Both of mine lay like that all the time.

Growing up, my cocker spaniel would lay like this all of the time.

Both Trusty and Madeleine do the frog-leggy thing (especially, if they are warm).

Esperanza (Rottie) never does, no matter what the temps.

Just my 15month old does it. He is almost always laying in that position when he is on the floor or out in the yard. My 9yr old has never laid like that. I always wondered if others did it as well.
