I have had many dogs in life, but I have never seen anything like this. I
have a 6 month Siberian husky, who will go into my closet and take every
pair of shoes out and pile them in the living room. He does not chew them,
or damage them in any way, he just piles them.

Has anyone ever seen or heard of anything like this before?

In some ways Siberians can be kind of "primitive". I've got
a friend whose Sibe x dug a hole in her sofa as a place to
bury shoes. That's pretty common Siberian behavior. One of
mine accumulated and piled shoes at about six months and
grew out of it (and into an extremely destructive
adolescence, but that's another matter) and I've got a
4-year-old who does it but acts like a six-month-old in a
bunch of other ways, too. My favorite is when they bury
icicles.

Barney does this with my slippers. When I take them off he insist on taking
them and carrying them to the bed and stuffing them underneath it always in
the same spot. I guess he has decided this is where they belong.

My keeshond has a shoe fetish as well, but he plays with them instead of
piling them. He tosses them in the air and waves them back and forth in his
mouth but never hurts them.

my pit mix likes to take one of each pair of shoes and move it somewhere
else in the house. he doesn't chew them up (anymore), but just moves them
around. he only does this when he's really excited (like when i'm about to
get him breakfast). but it's not just shoes, he'll pick up anything
available and prance around with it.

There's a difference between moving stuff around the house
and creating stashes. Siberians will tend to do the latter.
Greta (who was a Collie x) did the former quite a bit and so
one day I went down to the kitchen in the morning without my
glasses, saw something on the floor I assumed was a belt
that Greta had carried downstairs, and bent over to pick it
up only to find that it was a snake (the Sibes would have
killed it and might have eaten it).

ahh. makes sense. neither of my dogs make stashes of anything, they either
play with it, eat it, or ignore it. Manu just can't resist taking toys
outside and just leaving them in the middle of the yard though. :-)
