Possibly a false pregnancy? My afghan used to do this.

Maybe it's a northern breed thing? Both my dogs dig up the carpet before laying down, the odd thing is that they dig for quite a while but often don't end up laying there after all!

It is very common for dogs to 'make their beds' before they lie down. Our old Kip used to do this - actually wore out a patch by the front door which was he favourite place to lie when we were out.
Syd does that everytime he wants to sit down, we put a big rug where he sits so that he doesn't wreck the carpet.

All these sound like symptoms of a false pregnancy. Is it about 9 weeks since her season or if she is speyed is it about 9 weeks since she should have been in season?

Just to add, if it is, then I suggest you stop it if you can, because I remember when Cassie once did this, she was always trashing her bed though and when I took her to the vet about it, he said it was a false pregnancy and we must put a stop to it immediately! Why that is I don't know, but that's what he told me! Good luck, hope you get this sorted soon.
