Have you checked with your vet on what they mean? Where did you buy this pup from? In a 9 week pup, I would think it would be a serious thing but I'm just guessing. You need to consult your vet.

My RB Dalmation had a Heart murmur most of her life.But for some odd reason it went away.Usually heart murmurs arent that serious.She didnt have to take any medicine or anything.I hope its not a serious one!

My Mandy has a heart murmur. It is very serious though, she has a 5-6, caused by a value that's too small in her heart. It depends on what's causing the murmur that's important. Your vet would have to run tests to find out. My understanding is that a one probably isn't that serious but I'm then I'm not a vet. I hope it's not serious, please keep us posted.

Merlin doesn't have a murmer but non regular heart beat. Hes 7 and really no problems just have to make sure he doesn't over excert himself. Not much of a problem now sofs spud that he is. I would have your vet sit down and explain it all to you.
