How old is your poodle and how much do they sleep?
Sometimes I worry Peggy sleeps an abnormal amount. She’s up for whatever I ask of her, but at almost 2 years old, she can easily sleep 12 hours overnight, crashes again for a couple of hours after breakfast, often goes down for another deep snooze in the afternoon, and spends much of the evening—you guessed it—sleeping.
We’ve kept in touch with some of her puppy class peers, and they seem much harder to tire out, despite being the same age. Is this normal for a standard poodle? Maybe it’s just the transition to adulthood that’s a bit of a shock...
