Yeah, its all anecdotal, but I have had three dogs, all active pets I took for long walks everyday and all were outside often, and I don't think any of them were awake for 11 hours a day.

Yeah, that's what I thought too when thinking of our little family terrier. Granted, he is eleven years old now and sleeps even more than he used to, but I feel like 13 hours has always rather been the minimum for him.

My retired racing greyhound sleeps so much I often have to check if she’s still breathing

11 hour naps rudely interrupted by bathroom breaks, walks, and eating.

Fr mine sleeps all day and night.  When we go to the park she just sits there. She doesn't like other dogs chasing her.

Yeah my cats sleep 99% of the day lol. They only wake up to move locations: bed, couch, other couch, sun spot, bed again, lap, chair, floor (?), couch again... They have busy schedules.
