Is my new puppy SLEEPING too much?

We just got an 8 week old OES, and he sleeps all the time! He will get up and play with our daughters for a bit, or go on a short walk, but as soon as we let him, he goes right back to his favorite spot and sleeps. Is this normal?
Thank you!

Puppies sleep a lot, just like babies.
As long as he does have energy when he is awake I wouldn't worry.
When we first brought Poppy home I even said to my daughter " I think we bought a dud one" because she seemed to sleep all the time! Believe me - enjoy the lul before the storm! :wink: In a couple of weeks time he will keep you on yout toes and you will long for him to have a nap :)

Take lots and lots of pictures because they are not puppies for long!
Hello and welcome to the forum, you do not need to worry a young puppy will sleep most of the day and as Elissa states as long as he has enough energy when he is awake then everything is okay, in the beginning you can almost watch them grow, sleeping helps put the energy they have into the growing process.
Have un with the new puppy. :D :D :D
