How long does your Doodle sleep each day and what age are they?

[Cathy w/Shiloh~Cody]

Shiloh, is 1- 1/2 years old, Standard F1, and goes to sleep at 830pm and wakes up 730 each day. He rarely sleeps during the day,and if he does its only 30-60 minutes. I am curious if this is normal? He runs around a lot, goes on daily walks, plays fetch and chases lizards most of the day.

 

 

[Doris, Knox & Flash]

He'll slow down soon, I bet! He still has a lot of puppy in him! He probably wears out poor 'lil Rooney!

[Doris, Knox & Flash]

Knox is a two-year old F1 Goldendoodle and he lays around ALOT! Unfortunately, I am a night-owl so he rarely goes to sleep until 11:30 or so. He wakes up around 7 when my DH gets ready for work. When I leave for work around 9, he's ready to nap. I can only assume that he sleeps most of his day away -- sure wish I could train him to do housework, lol! He's pretty much worthless!!

[Barbara B., Sasha & Oliver]

I work during the day Monday thru Friday and I believe both my doodles sleep all day, they are crated when I am not home.  I come home on lunch and take them out for a potty break and some fresh air.  When I get home from work I let them play in the back yard, run around like two nuts, wrestle, and do their doggie thing, tthen we go for a nice long walk around the neighborhood.  After that they are up and about while do my thing and we all settle down about 8 pm to watch TV.  During the weekends they do sleep during the day if its quiet and if I'm sitting down doing computer work etc.  but if I am cleaning or working on a project they are right there keeping an eye on me.  They are outside often on the weekends or we go for long walks in the morning or to the dog park.  I try to be very active with them on the weekends and expose them to all different things.  I usually go to bed around 10-11 pm and they sleep thru the night. They are not crated during the night.  It seems that Oliver (20 months old) is up more than Sasha (2 1/2 yrs old).  But basically if I'm up and about so are they, but if I'm sitting and relaxing they are too, it seems the mirror my activities.

[Amy, Cubbie & Ollie]

mine sleep from about 10pm to 4:45am (but we got back to bed on the weekends).  Both of mine must be lazy doodles because they nap on and off through out the day I would think that they probably spend more time sleeping than they spend awake.  Cubbie is 3 and Ollie is 2.5 but they have pretty much always been that way.

[Jennifer,Chloe & Myla]

Wow-ours nap on and off throughout the day-sometimes Chloe puts herself to bed at 6:30pm!!! I think she like alone time!

Chloe almost 5 and Myla 4 they like to lay on the back of the couch and snooze in the sun.

[Jarka, Monty & Auggie]

Monty will be 2 in a couple of weeks. We go to bed at 9:30pm and he's been already napping before then for about an hour. My DH takes him out when he leaves for work at 6:30 and then Monty joins me on the bed and sleeps till 8-9am. This morning I woke up at 9am with his back legs on my head, he was sleeping belly up again. I work from home some days, so I'm very happy that he learned to sleep in. :-)  After getting up, we go for a walk and 3 times a week we meet with Monty's girlfriend for about 30-40 minutes. They run and wrestle, so after we get back home and have a breakfast, he would snooze perhaps for good 3-4 hours. On some days I take him with me to work and he would nap for 2 hours and then at lunchtime I would take him for a quick walk. Then he would nap some more in the office.  So I guess he sleeps about 6-7 hours during the day, plus the night time. I've noticed he calmed down quite a bit in the last few months. He still wants to play a lot when I'm working from home, but it's definitely not the whole day anymore so I can actually get some of my work done as well. ;-)

[Leslie, Dexter & Kirby]

After eating, Dexter's favorite hobby is sleeping.  I swear he sleeps 18-20 hrs a day.  Of course if we go somewhere he is awake, but when we're home, he's almost always sleeping.

Kirby has a lot more energy (the irish setter in him) than Dex, but he still does his fair share of sleeping.

They're 5 :)

[Sue, Murphy and Bella ()*o*()]

Wow, good question. I think they sleep all day when we are both at work, which is usually 2 days a week. Other days they are pretty busy most of the day when one or the other of us are home. They are up and down and in and out and in the car and at the dog park, or on a walk, chewing this or catching that or wrestling with eachother, or running to the window to check out a noise or following me from room to room watching my every move. DH will take a nap with them everyday that he is home, but other than that hour or so, they are on the move most of the day. They are 3 yrs old and 19 mo. They probably sleep less because there are two of them. When one gets up the other does, one needs to go potty, the other goes out too. And so on.

[Camilla and Darwin]

Darwin sleeps about 9-10 hours in his crate, then off and on throughout the day.
