Question:

: I have a 16 month old Jack Russell who pants aggressively when he becomes hot or excited. It worries me that he becomes so over exhausted so easily. Is this normal?

First of all dogs don't sweat and panting is a way of cooling off this is how they sweat and keep cool. If you are concerned then you need to see a Vet, to me if he is fit then you shouldn't have a problem
