Sleepy shay

hey there just wondered if it is normal for a dog to sleep nearly all the time

A dog will normally sleep if it has nothing to do. It's the same in the wild - an animal that has excercised or eaten will lay down & snooze!

Is it Shay you're talking about? If she's happy & lively, eating & drinking ok, then she's perfectly normal!

yeah its shay im tlking bout she's very quiet un less my husband winds her up lol but apart from that shes doing everything you said perhaps shes just a lazy dog
p.s just been looking at dempseys pics in bull terrier parrt and hes is a stunner and absolutly gorgeous wont show my husband though as he adores them and wll want another dog

I wish mine did sleep more! Shes constantly wanting attention from the moment I wake to the moment I go to bed!! As Caryll said as long as there happy and healthy then its fine.

Yeah i think its normal. Bruno sleeps most of the morning and some afternoon unless i take him for a walk or play with him, he really wakes up when my children are home or is that he don't have a chance to sleep when they home then after his dinner at 6pm , he have a hour or so then run around like a mad thing

I think mostly every dog is different, however staffords do love to snooze. Skibadee is always in bed, she takes herself off to the bedroom at about 10pm every night and you cannot physically drag her out until after 11am the next morning. Tali on the other hand doesn't stop, she stays awake with my OH til about 1/2 am and is up with me at 7.30am! Every time someone leaves the house she has to be there, she doesn[t sit still no wonder she can't put on any weight!

I'm glad its not just shay then she does try to go to sleep inb the day but my son just wants to play with her and everytime she moves to go to sleep again he wakes her up but as soon as he is in bed at 8 she sleeps on sofa till me and my husband drag ourselves to bed and she stays asleep till late morning like you said skibadee does

lucky you - not sure woody knows what sleep is!

harvey will get up at 8:30 for his breakfast have a snooze for a bit after then constantly wants attention up until 7pm ish when he starts calming down and then sleeps until the next morning.

Kaisers lazy my fella has just got a job and has to be up at 6 and he asked kaiser if he wanted to go for a walk and kaiser looked at him as if to say are you mad its still dark and then when he got back he went striaght back to bed he has been use to going out about 9 10 oclock usually he must of thought my fella had **** the bed this morning

Emma & Fritz play & destroy for 20 minutes and then sleep for hours to make up for it. They even take naps between finishing their dinner. lazy, lazy, lazy! haha

Jemma is 1 v sleepy dog!!
I think maybe today it cud be down to the weather as it is quite hot here, but she generally spends all of her time in her bed unless on a walk or eating/drinking. ne ideas on how to perk her up a bit or shud i jus be content with a dog thts not awake 24/7?!!!

Jethro is almost permanently up on the lounge asleep. He does go outside for wees and poos, and I take him for a few walks every day..mind you he is 12 !! Though it is winter here and he hates the cold... he goes out abit more in the warmer weather.....

Winston's day is eat..play...sleep..eat .. play .. sleep and so it goes on....

some times if its hot buster sleeps a lot

Suki sleeps alot. If she not being exercised it is usually nap time.
