Why does my Labrador snore?
"You may think it is cute or funny to hear your Labrador snoring
You may find it annoying.
Especially if he shares your bedroom
But what does it actually mean, and why do some dogs snore whilst others never do?
Some facts about snoring
Snoring is a noise caused by vibration of the soft tissues of a dog’s mouth and throat.
The vibration arises when there is some kind of minor or major obstruction in the dogs airway.
Too much tissue for example, or tissue that is too floppy may cause a narrowing of the throat.
Snoring is much more common in dogs that have been bred with very short muzzles (like pugs, and bulldogs) because there is not room in the dog’s mouth for all the soft tissue that lives there!
It can and does however, occur in dogs with normal muzzles like our Labradors. As you will know if you have a snorer in your home." Article cited from http://www.thelabradorsite.com/why-does-my-labrador-snore/November 29,2014
