    • Typically a young puppy (and he is very young to be away from his breeder and siblings, even if mum is off the litter by this age), will sleep lots, but will also have bouts of 'manic' activity. If your puppy is like this, and eating and having normal BMs/peeing, then I'd suggest he's normal. But have your vet check for a problem when he has his health check and vaccination course started.
