Hey GreekBoy,

Yes, I agree with the other replies...puppies need lots of rest and sleep. They should nap very frequently throughout the day. I got my Yorkie at 2 months old and the breeder actually told me to put him down to nap every few hours. They become more awake and less tired as each month goes by.

Also, just incase this might help you...my breeder told me to split up his amount of food into 3 meals a day until he is 6 months, which is when you just split his amount of food into 2 meals a day. At around one year old, I started feeding him once a day, at dinner time. I give him a carrot stick or piece of apple (he love carrots and apples) or dog treats in the morning for breakfast after he does some tricks. Some people feed their adult dogs twice a day, but my dog started eating only his dinner meal and leaving his breakfast meal, so I changed his feeding to just once a day.

Enjoy your pup!
