What's normal for sleeping habits of an EBD?

Go Back to General Bulldog Forum

Just curious as to how much an EBD should sleep. Mine sleeps through the night (anywhere from 8-10 hours), wakes up, eats, pees, poops, plays for a little while, takes a one or two hour nap, wakes up, pees, plays, naps, and so forth. She 8 months old and sleeps what amounts to about 6 total hours of just napping throughout the day. Normal?

Yeah I think out of 24 hours in a day, Sissy is awake maybe 4-5 lol? She definitely sleeps a lot.

Dooley is 7 1/2 months and he pretty much has the same routine.

He sleeps 10 hrs a nght. Gets up eats, plays and then back to nap time. Off and on through out the day. I think it is pretty normal.

They'll sleep a lot if you let them. If you take them out for a day of activities, they'll have a great time, then go home an crash. They'll sleep soundly. Sometimes you have to shake them to wake them up. But this is all normal. And, don't they look adorable asleep?
