Very good question! Mine is napping on my lap right now!! It's his favorite place to be. I would say they sleep a lot (50% of the time) when they are young puppies, much like a baby, and then they start napping less as they go into the toddler/teenage period. Every dog is different. They are little dogs and don't need a lot exercise and any activity will tire them out and they will want to rest. A few throws of the ball down the hallway may be all they can handle.
My male is "all boy" and very hyper while my female is "all girl" and, while she loves to play, she also loves to cuddle and be held and will nap or sleep anywhere anytime!
These forums are addicting and I know I spend way too much time here, but it is a form of relaxation for me at the beginning and the end of the day!
Hope this helps! |
