Staffs do have very short hair on their chests, belly & the inside their thighs, although it does look from the pics that ozzie's hair is ultra short!

Is he rubbing against anything? Has it always been like this, or only recently?

he might be allergic to some thing that you are useing in the house,like shaking vac,or some thing like that,or some thing that you are washing his beding in.....

or a skin condtion....

i know that staffs have short hair on under side and in side legs.....
but not that short...

Mine has very short hair too, very similar to yours, could be an allergy, but I personally wouldn't worry.

As long as it hasn't changed or spread & he's healthy I'd just accept that it's normal for him! It certainly doesn't look red or sore, so it isn't bothering him.

That is short but like Caryll said it doesn't look sore so I would just say it's normal for him.

Its normal for some to be like that my bitch is exactly the same and you should notice that the hair on other body parts is very soft to the touch. Dont worry there is nothing wrong at all its just the way they are. Just a tip they do loose heat when its really cold so I personally use a coat and if they like to sunbathe on there backs in summer time sun cream wouldnt go amiss

Hi i hope it wasn me that got you worried when i asked about allergy only ruby lost all her underside hair a few weeks after i brought her home from the rescue centre and it turned out she was allergic to dustmites, storage mites, house mites and beef! she was red raw though at the time and now is the same as Ozzys - Rubys air has gone behind her ears as well tho unfortunately!! Have started immumotherapy 3 months ago so hopefully will work!! Sorry if i got you worried.
