My 2-month-old puppy sleeps a lot. Is this normal puppy behavior?

Question

Is it normal for puppies to sleep a lot? I have a two month old puppy who naps frequently. I don't think he's lethargic because when he is awake he plays and explores the house but I just want to make sure that this is normal.

Yes, it is normal for puppies this age to sleep a lot - they play hard and nap hard, just like babies :) As long as he is playful and active when he's awake, and he's eating and drinking normally with no other problems, I wouldn't be concerned.
