Kicking

I have done a quick search but couldn't find anything on this. It's not a problem as such, I'm just curious.
Piggy gets on the sofa in the evenings with us, she jumps up finds her spot then kicks her back leg out really hard... I hope it's not something she's learned from the horses She always does it....anyone else see this?

Bandit did it all the time - it was his way of getting a bit more room! He'd do it on the sofa, the bed, the arm chair, anywhere he needed a little more room!

Dempsey does it as well, so maybe it's a bull breed thing?

Molly does this too, especially on the bed, in the middle of the night.

Must be a bully thing

Piggy does it everywhere as well it just on the sofa it's close quarters and it bloody hurts....

Hahahaha, yes it does hurt!

I've got bruises on my thighs, and chest for that matter, from Molly doing it during the night,

One reason Dempsey isn't allowed on the bed!

I can totally understand that!

Yep, I also have bruises everywhere! She stretches and kicks and I may as well not be here! Ouch is all I can say lol!! Its very endearing but bloomin painfull!

Yeah Blue does that when I let him on the bed. Don't try getting them in a head lock and giving a beano they just kick more while using the front paws to poke you in the eyes

all of mine do this...and if i'm not quick enough, it bloody hurts!

So it is definitely a characteristic of the breed... I wonder what is behind though...I believe when dogs sort of go around in a circle patteern is akin to the wolf treading down the snow to make its bed...
