Rapid breathing at night

I was wondering if anyone else has or has had the same thing with
their puppy. My girl is 12 weeks and the past few night when we go to bed her breathing seems to pick up and become very rapid and pants when she gets up to move. Throughout the day she is completely
normal, playing, eating, drinking and going to the bathroom with no
problems. Is this normal? I have had 2 other bordeauxs and haven't had this problem before.

I don't have experience with this. Is the house warmer at night? Where does she sleep? Any reason for her to be nervous?

Maybe she is too warm? or, too excited being with your? Possibly she would do better with her own bed? Have you crate trained her?

I have an EM and he does the same thing every now and then at night also. He's 9 weeks old. It freaked me out at first, he sleeps on the bed with me too. I figured out that he was probably too hot, now I put a big dog bed on the floor next to my bed and he sleeps on that if he starts getting too hot. Sounds like your pup is maybe just getting a little hot also.

My girl sleeps in a crate and does this sometimes too. She just gets too hot. Every night differs so it's not all the time but she has done it several times this week. No worries.

Our pup (now 1 year old) will slide off our bed and go to her own bed when she gets too hot. Being that small, you probably don't want her jumping off the bed unassisted.
