Chis that are poorly bred and/or pulled on collars often have collasping trachea problems so a vet visit is in order. My toys nreeds are only walked on a body harness to prevent problems. Fat makes it worse too so make sure he is thin.

I'm new to the breed so I am wondering is this normal or should I be concerned. Thanks for your help. Melissa
