yes, the could be a problem but the shelters (at least the rescue / foster groups) are pretty good about knowing which ones dig and could do this. then they just give them blankets and not the stuffed kind.
I have a dachshund who are diggers. Chip has several stuffed beds but I make sure his are "loosely" stuffed so he can root around in it and get it comfy. so far, no problems.
The dachshund rescue group I know (where I got Chip) says she doesn't give her doxies beds if they tend to chew on things.
I was concerned about this too so did some research.
hope this helps.
