Porsche kind of snorts when she breathes, especially when she's being petted or loved on

She also snores sometimes. Does anyone else notice this in their yt?

Tessa does snore but mostly when she is lying on her back sleeping. She will also give little snorts or snores when she is lying in my lap with her head drapped over my should. I think it is because she is putting alittle pressure on her treac. When I hear her, I move her head to the side and she is fine

My Sassy does exactly what you mentioned AND she snores.

She hasn't had any problems with this and the vet said her trachea feels okay. I won't consider it a health problem unless it gets much worse.
