Three weeks ago I adopted a Golden Retriever. On three different occasions I have heard him snoring. The other night's episode caused me real concern though. He snored like one of the Three Stooges. He would snore really loud, and then he made this whining sound, and his mouth started flapping around. I called his name, and he stopped.
I saw another posting with almost the same title. The answer that was voted best was a sarcastic answer. Please none of that this time. Is my dog's snoring something I should be concerned about?

it's normal. I used to have a golden that did the same thing she snored like a person if not worse! They are just getting some good rest..
Enjoy your golden mine was the best pet I have ever had!

NO, nothing to worry about. I have had a FEW snoring dogs, though the CURRENT one is the loudest. And the funniest. (It's where we know where she is sleeping. My kids have kicked her out of their rooms a few nights because she has woken them up.)
You call his name, it would be the same as if you were sleeping, your named was called, and you woke up (even if for a second).
His whining and the lip moving is just that he was having a dream and ...well it's the equivalent of talking in his sleep. It was be REALLY funny. Sometimes their legs will jolt and their whole body twitches, These are NOT seizures- so if it happens, don't worry. My dog (the current one mentioned above) will growl and bark in her sleep if she is having a REAL big dream. I figure she is dreaming of chasing down another animal. Just like a person, she is doing grandiose things in her sleep that she doesn't get to do when she is awake.
SOMETIMES she will even twitch so much that the bed starts rocking. (she's a good sized dog) It's funny when during the day, but it will wake you up if she's at the end of the your bed at night.
You simply have a "sleep active" dog. No worries. Enjoy the show- you are going to have a lot of laughs!

I have a 3 yr.old Male Jack Russell and a female 8 yr. old both rescued. The male will sleep and snore. I can't stand adult snoring (it will wake me up immediately for some reason.) It's really cute and I will always cover him up with his favorite blanket. Good question!

Maybe hes having trouble breathing, usually dogs with short snouts as in pekingese snore prety loudly, or perhaps yr dog was dreaming, i suggest u record hism whn hes sleeping and the way he snores and then take the video to the vet fr an accurate diagnosis.

my dog snores too. I dont think its anything to be worried about but next time you take them to the Vet, ask them. They have dreams just like we do. I think it is quite normal, so no worries.

please don't awaken Ur dog when they are whining in their sleep:
dogs, just like ppl, need to == Dream... ====
it's how they work their way thru any emotional issues or disturbing or scary or wonderful new experiences... let Ur dog dream, and they will be more refreshed in the AM and relaxed, as they will have revisited any loose-ends of daytime experience and processed it.
U may also see Ur dog paddle, run, bite, chew, drink, and so on. like ppl, they will look from side to side under closed eyelids as they navigate the country of their dreams.
they may bark, whine, yelp, sigh, sniff; that's OK, too.
if U wake them, they will be startled and confused; it's not a good thing. a dog abruptly awakened in a dream-state may BITE - they don't intend to, they're just reacting to the scare.
