I'm an expert on puppy peeing. I put my little pup in belly bands when he had full run of the house as soon as I got him - and, because I was holding him almost constantly, I knew every time he pee'd.
And, for sure --- little puppies pee almost constantly. I know at times for several hours, he'd pee almost every 15 minutes. And, then for some reason, he'd go for an hour or more and not pee. I'm am convinced that this is why it is often so hard to potty train a very young pup.
Now that he's older (8 months) --- he'll go 5 or 6 hours without peeing - and often longer (and he always goes all night without peeing). But, still he has times where he pees more often. I feel that he has reached the age where he can hold it - if he chooses to - but he just doesn't do it all the time. And - this is a much better age for potty training to kick in.... We are now working with a dog that has more control!
Nevertheless, the end result is that older dogs can hold it a lot longer than little puppies can. If you stop and think about it, a newborn baby is usually wet most of the time too.
And - I don't think he's marking - he's just peeing......
Not to worry!!!!!!
