All young mammals have rate differences during inhaling and exhaling. Humans do too. Did you actually have a vet check it, or are you just worried about something you hear?
Electrical problems of the node are congenital if the vet happens to think this is a problem. The good news is that most are simply functional arrhythmias.

You are describing something that sounds like NSR - Normal Sinus Rhythm in dogs. Almost every dog has this, and it is completely normal.
Pulsus paradoxus is a decrease in pulse pressure during inspiration and an increase in pulse pressure during expiration. This is a normal occurrence in animals, but, it is usually too subtle to observe on physical examination.
If you have any concerns about arrhythmias or heart murmurs, your veterinarian or local specialty referral hospital will be able to accurately ascult (listen) to your pets heart and detect any concerning abnormalities.

A dog's heart does not beat the same way as a human. Are you sure you aren't just confused?
If you really think there is something wrong ask the vet they will know.
