Gracie Ruth seemed to do several short naps. She was always up and running full steam ahead. Yogi, likes to do down time as well as naps. He'll just get his current favorite chew toy and go lay down by himself and chew on it for awhile. I think pups listen pretty well to their bodies and nap when they need to. Of course, all that is out the window if there is a new toy or another pup to play with.
