Pups sleep a lot and older dogs sleep most of the time. Thats about the best I can do. There is a period inbetween where they sleep less I think.

It's not how many breaths you have taken but how many times it has been taken away!

Has anyone noticed common sense isn't very common anymore.

As pups, our first slept all the time. We'd play for three minutes, he'd sleep for hours. The second...well, lets just say, I've been waiting 6 months for her to sleep. She must be wound a little tighter!

They both sleep through the night, although its not uncommon for them to bask in the sun an catch a few minutes on the floor.

Our adults sleep most of the day unless we are hunting. The average adult dog sleeps over 12 hours a day.
Our 5 week old puppies are sleeping 3 hours, then play for 45 minutes, then sleep for 6 hours, play for 45 minutes, repeat....
When they get to be 6 to 9 months, they will play for up to 90 minutes than sleep for a few hours.
