Puppies eat and play hard so 20 minutes after feeding be sure they get out to urinate and have a poop and go outside with them. You can also train them on the paper first if you like and then gradually take them outside. They love to play and may play for 10 minutes to half and hour and have a 'cat nap' (no pun intended.) Then up they get again for half an hour of hard play or following you around and another nap is nearby.
if you play with him constantly, as much as he can fit in. if he sits at home all day, ALOT
We have recently had a pup and she slept all the time, every half hour she was napping, but around every few hours, a nap is normal. They may also sleep a bit while teething begins.
Only about 5\3 hour's
In the dog world, the "alpha" sleeps higher than the rest of the pack, so it is important that the puppy be taught its place in the family and never be allowed on the bed or other furniture. If the puppy is already used to getting on the bed, temporarily place the puppy's bed in a small room or closet where it will have no choice but to sleep on that bed. (You might have to put up with some crying for a night or two.) Once the puppy is used to sleeping on its own bed, move it to where you want it permanently. Repeat the process, if necessary, until the puppy knows you are serious about it.
If the older dog allows it - yes.
that depends, you should talk to the breeder and ask what kind of bedding they used, the puppy will be most used to that bedding. Also if your puppy has a special condition, talk to the vet.
You usually put it in a box, with an old blanket or comforter, usually that's what most people do.
ya, it's a baby and babies sleep a lot. but my age 6 months it should not sleep ALL the time. another reason for excessive sleeping is worms. has she been wormed yet/ if not it is vital, since all puppies are born with worms. it makes them want to sleep in a dark place. you can get worming meds at any pet store. A healthy puppy generally plays hard (racing around, acting goofy, playing with toys or attacking another pet playfully or even you.) Then they will go for a good nap and start all over again. It's a good idea to take your puppy to the vets for a good physical and perhaps get worm pills should this be the case.
Your dog might be fat, lazy , or pregnant .

A nine year should be getting 9-12 hours of sleep.

Where they mark their territory
The average person should be getting around 8 hours of sleep but teenager's sometime's need more. I would sudgest a steady 9 hours of sleep.

In draught free room with washable floor eg kitchen, not in your bedroom.
Teenagers should be getting 7-8 hours sleep minimum.
When dogs are young pups they need their rest to grow, the older they get the less they will sleep. If your puppy doesn't play at all, you should really take him to a vet, he could be sick.
