Hi and thank you for reaching out about Stella. It sounds pretty abnormal to me. In a young dog I get concerned for pneumonia or a primary lung infection - parasites, fungal, heartworm. I would highly recommend to take her into a veterinarian as soon as you can to have her evaluated. Abnormal breathing should be assessed as soon as possible. Best of luck with Stella.
