How many hours a day does a Bichon Frise puppy sleep?

Bichon Frise puppies under three months can sleep more than 20 hours a day, and those over three months about 16 hours. Although they sleep long, they are not always asleep, waking frequently before sleeping again. The exact sleep time depends on how much rest they get each day; if the owner often teases and plays with the puppy, its sleep time shortens. Puppies are in a rapid growth period, so the owner should ensure they get enough sleep.
