If Buddy is breathing fast after playing or if the room temperature is particularly high it might be completely normal. Dogs breath very fast with an open mouth to decrease their body temperature. If the fast breathing happens during rest/slipping time I would suggest a check up with your local vet for a thorough clinical examination an chest auscultation.
