| Puppy sleep more then adult dogs do. Its normal. As long as you are giving him petgold Super-Cal or something long those lines, every day... I would not worry to much about it. |

| My pup sleeps all the time especially after baths, grooming, eating, any exertion of any kind (including running around outside or playing with Taya) and she passes out- I have to literally pick her up and move her around a little before she'll even open her eyes and then she goes right back to sleep unless we're outside or something! But when she's awake she's very active- as long as he's active when he's awake I would think he's fine- if he's lethargic even when he's up you might want to get him checked out! |

| Young puppies do sleep a lot. Izzy has always been a sleeper. The breeder called him sleepy..I still call him that too. My cousin calls him a little bum! He is the king of finding a corner on the couch or a good spot on my lap to sleep. Here he is taking a nap when I brought him to work last week. There was no couch around so he picked the floor!
