I'm no expert . Peppas Tum is almost bold but she lost hair on the neck so I took off her collar but it takes ages to grow! I would ask the vet if I were you probably an allergy or skin condition.

I was hoping she might be just shedding a little hair then for it to grow back in the spring. Her back and head are perfect with shiny black fur?
But I will take her to the vet for a check-up to be sure. Smile

I've just come back from the vets and Lucy is OK applause
The thinning of hair isn't unusual in dogs as they tend to shed at different times of the year.
Hair on the underside of a staffy can be so different from one to another and Lucy tends to have very little at the moment but it will grow back later one in the next couple of months.
He said I have nothing to worry about and that Lucy is healthy in every way from weight, diet to glossy fur.

Now I can kick back and enjoy  "Happy Days"

Bane - I've already been looking on the web sites - must get a nice one for my little girl and may be one for our Franky as I don't want him to be left out thumbs up
If anyone knows of a good site where they supply dog coats which cover underneath the dog, please let me know !
