    German Short/Wirehair Owners - respiratory question

    We have a 12 month old female GWHP (Gracie) that we rescued about 4 months ago . . . we also have a 2 year old Vizsla (yes, its an ACTIVE dog home).

    I was just wondering if GWHP as a breed is a "snorty" dog . . . i mean gracie sort of huffs, puffs, grunts, snorts, sneezes, snores, and all sorts of other respiratory sounds . .. our Vizsla makes no such noises.

    She never seems to have a hard time breathing, or short of breath, and believe me she plays HARD. Our vet has seen her and listened to her breathing and didn't indicated any abnormalities, and he has 2 GWHP's.

    I used to work at a doggie day care and we had a few that were regulars. One in particular was just a pup and he was crrrrazy. However, when he got tired, he'd come over to you and huffle and puffle on your lap.

    Well, all my boys snore!  Even the cat (and yes, DH included).

    Morrison does "whuffle" a little when he is curled up in one of his strange positions or sleeping but the rest of the time he's pretty quiet in that way.
