Panting? - YorkieTalk.com Forums

Emmy · 04-01-2006, 07:24 AM

Whenever Emmy gets excited and run around, she sounds as if she was breathing heavy out of her mouth. I wanted to know if this is normal or what? It's only when she gets excited or is running around the house with a toy in her mouth? Anyone else's yorkie do the same?

That's normal.
It's just like if you ran around the backyard at full speed, you'd be out of breath and breathing through your mouth too.
It's actually a good sign that they're getting some exercise out of playing.
I always make sure when I take my girls to the park that they hit the point where they're panting because then you know that they're getting some good exercise and are getting tired.

Good question! I wondered that myself. Bella gets so excited chasing the cats she'll start panting and I actually have her "take a break" because I'm worried she's overexerting herself. I didn't know if because of her age (15 weeks) I should be cautious of this...

Its normal. Jewels does this too.

Princessyorkies · 04-01-2006, 10:13 AM

NORMAL... Penny does that too.

I am glad to hear it is normal. Ella does that a lot too and I am always a bit concerned.

SOmebody once told me that heavy panting is like laughing for a dog, don't know if that is true or not but I notice whenever Tinkerbell does this, she is very happy.LOL

Whenever I get out the leashes and harnesses, Brandy immediately starts jumping around and panting. It's her happy dance!

bugaboosmom · 04-01-2006, 02:05 PM

See what I mean?

susansmom · 04-01-2006, 02:23 PM

Susan pants almost the whole time in the car -- even when it's really cold. We figure she's just excited.

LOL
Princess has the same Happy Dance

She loves her harness, she see's it and
knows it's bye, bye, time

I always thought panting meant that the dog was thirsty. I always bring Baby to drink when she's doing that. It usually means she is thirsty.

Don't know what she is now since she's licking my toes! LOL

Sounds normal to me. Any animal breathes harder when it runs or is very active - including us!!! Our oxygen requirements increase when we are active!!
