Well, I'd say it more or less depends on individual pups. One minute you see them frolicking and the next they are fast asleep. But one time my Boeing went 15 hrs straight w/o a single nap during the day. That was back when he was just a three-month-old pup. Oh, boy! That was one of the most tiring days of my life :doh: But night time has always been very peaceful ever since he was young as he sleeps 7-8 hrs straight.
Is this normal?
I am home on vacation this week, so for the first time I get to spend a big chunk of time with Marley during the day. Well, he sleeps sooooooo much. I am sticking to the schedule of when he is home alone, except that he is crated no where near as much, and we get to play more. I am up at the same time, he eats at the same time, and to bed at the same time.
When he gets up, he is still yawning, but is energetic and plays. Then within about a half hour of eating, he is napping. Then he's back up and I take him out, play, half hour later, he is yawning to signal that he needs another nap. He's still sleeping 7 hours at night, so I would guesstimate he is sleeping about 18-20 hours a day.
Here's my question...do they really sleep this much at 4 months old? How much do these pups normally sleep?
