This is a phenomenon called reverse sneezing which is medically called paroxymal respiration. It's is common in these type of breeds and it is generally harmless. Dogs show this phenomenon when some irritant has gone into the nasal tract,sinuses or they have swallowed too much air. It is nothing concerning unless it is happening because of nasal mites for which physical check up is necessary. Otherwise it is harmless and commonly it will come and go
