Hi Shayne - Welcome to JustAnswer! I am a licensed veterinarian and specialist and will do my best to assist you today!

This is actually quite common for puppies to do.

They have an extremely fast metabolism, are often quite active, and as a result drink a fair bit of water.

There are some puppies that have more of a fascination with water than need for water as well, ending up at the water bowl for this reason too.

It would be quite uncommon for there to be a medical cause for this, and more common for their metabolism or even behavior to direct this water intake.

Especially if they are eating well, playful, growing well - and otherwise normal.
