Sleepy Puppy

I never realized how much a puppy could sleep! Ferris probably sleeps more than 16 hours a day. It's quite nice to have a break from all the hectic puppy stress, but sometimes I wish he would wake up and play too. How long does this constant nap time phase last?

An example would be my friend has two jack russell terriers that are both 6 years old (Bill and Ted). Bill usually only sleeps when its bedtime and is usually bouncing around the house while Ted takes naps during the day on top of sleeping at night. She said it was like that from the day she got them.
