Not necessarily. The heart rate of a dog can be influenced by a variety of factors, including stress, excitement and exercise. But the heart beat of a dog should not "jump". If a dog's heart beat is maintaining a consistent rhythm of around 100 bpm, and then suddenly "jumps" followed by returning to normal, it could be a heart murmur. They are generally harmless, but can become quite severe. Call your veterinarian and ask him/her to ask listen to your dog's heart.
