My puppy breathes hard while sleeping. Is this normal or concerning?

Question

My puppy is breathing really hard during her sleep. She stops right when she wakes up but I'm not sure if this is something I should be concerned about? Pet's info: Dog | Mixed Breed Large (61lb +) | Female | unspayed | 2 months and 11 days old | 10.5 lbs

If River is normal when she wakes up and acts normally during the day (eating, drinking, playing, no vomiting, no diarrhea, etc) then I would not worry about it. If she seems sick in any way then I would get her to the vet for an exam. I suggest you take a video of this behavior so you can show your vet when you take River in for her next set of vaccinations so they can give you better advice. Hope this helps. Best wishes.
