Sleep - How much should puppies have??

[lucy123]

Hiya, 

My ten week old puppy never seems to sleep during the day and i thought they spend most of the day sleeping at this age.
He is always hyperactive and even if i put him in the kitchen for 'calm down' time i can just hear him running around and banging.

Any suggestions, advice or experiences would be appreciated

Thanks

Brea would have around an hour of play ....then sleep for hours ......I used to wonder just how she could sleep for so long .....she is even worse now she is older ....

I guess they are all different....Poppy at that age would be manic for a bit then sleep for a couple of hours to recharge before reigning terror again

kara wouldn't sleep at this age unless she was put in her crate and the front was covered to make it dark.  I don't know what we would have done without her crate it was a god send for us. We put her in there after playing and when she looked tired (because thats when the biting started )


But she sleeps right through the night (and always has) from 9 till 6 in the morning.
