My puppy breathes fast and pants while sleeping. Is this normal?

I just got a 6 week old Aussie puppy and she is spunky and playful. However she breathes fast while sleeping and will sometimes pant when she wakes up. Is this normal?

Thank you for contacting Petco Pet Education Center, formerly Petcoach with your question about your puppy. Congrats on the new puppy! Yes, this can be completely normal. Puppies dream when they sleep, and they can have breathing changes in response to these dreams, even after they wake up. As long as everything else is normal, no need to worry. I hope this helps!
