Puppy Rapid Breathing. Breathing problems in puppies will often resolve on their own, but you should keep a close eye on any puppy that is exhibiting any signs of breathing problems. In general, the fast breathing usually doesn’t last for more than 10 or 20 minutes.
Breathing will be labored as well, and your dog may show an increased intolerance for exercise. Your puppy might also experience rapid breathing (also known as tachypnea) if they are scared or nervous, such as in a new environment, meeting new dogs, or if they are going on a car ride — these are times of heightened awareness and anticipation. Serious heart problems can also cause a dog’s breathing to significantly increase.

The first thing you need to know how to recognize is if your puppy breathing fast while sleeping and what it looks like. Even when he's sleeping he probably takes about 180 breaths per minute. Rapid breathing (tachypnea) can be recognized by a breathing rate that is faster than normal and shallow breathing. He's going to the vet very soon, but i'm worried.
