Sleeps most of the day

[rajahmom]

Is it normal for my (almost) 6 month old to sleep the majority of the day & night? He has always done this and I am starting to wonder if this is normal.

Cooper just turned 5 months on the 20th and he still sleeps a lot. He plays a lot too, but I think when they are this young, they still need a lot of rest as well. I would say on average he sleeps 8 hours at night, gets up and has his breakfast and goes outside, then sleeps again for a few more hours in the AM, with several more naps throughout the day in between playing.

diesel is 9 months and he sleeps at 8-9 hours a night and then gets up goes out and takes a little nap before i leave for work, but on sat when we are home together all day he sleeps alot!!! so i dont think its any concern..i think these guys and girls have so much energy and are so hyper when they are awake they need lots of naps....

Beau is 3 and he's quite content snoozing the day away. I think some boxers are just lazier than others.

Cassius is exactly the same way! Likes to nap in between play time (but plays hard!), and sleeps up to 10 hours at night!!

My Brutus is just over 6 months old. he will sleep 8 or 9 hours at night, and will usually take between 3-5 hours of naps if you added them up. 2 or 3 a day. I look forward to those naps, cause its the only time he isn't telling me he wants to go out and then going hahahah tricked you as he eats tree bark and tries to dig holes.

Chief was lazier as a pup! When he was 3-5 months old, he wouldn't get up even when I did!!!!!!!!! Now, he's come around and gets up as soon as mom's alarm goes off!

Apollo was the same as Chief, he slept more as a puppy. Rocky on the other hand, I think that he has ENDLESS energy! They are all different, aren't they?

I think that is what dogs do. Mine sleeps a lot, unless I provoke him to play as it is very easy to get him excited. Only the problem I have with him is that he is a very early riser (I mean really early).

Millie is 8 months and she is just like her mommy and daddy, early to rise and early to bed. She has most of her energy during the day, it's most noticeable on weekends obviously since we are with her. She will be passed out on the couch by 8:30 pm! It's so cute, I have to wake her to let her potty before our bedtime (she sleeps with us) and she drags her butt off the couch, pees, runs inside and grabs a toy and carries it to our room!
