Very short/thin hair in frot of ears (Puppy)

Hi, this is my 4 week old Staffy puppy. He is still with his mom but I noticed a lack of hair in front of his ears. Does this look like a problem?






This is the same on both sides.

Hello and welcome.
Congratulations on your new family member.

I’ve had a look at Nifty’s breeder’s puppy photos and yes, the 4 week old pups do have a little less hair but it’s often very difficult to see under their “labrador ears”

Have you found a name for your pup yet ?

Hi from me & Katy, welcome to our forum He's a cute little fella As Nifty has said they don't have a lot of fur there when little. Bet you can't wait to get him home
Lots of puppy info here but if you have any questions just shout & we will help

Hi & welcome.

Totally normal! Staffords have very fine, short hair & the areas around the belly & the front of their ears are extremely short!

I wouldn't think there's any problem at all - gorgeous looking boy.

Thanks you have all put my mind at ease. Not sure about the name yet but I'm Bucky is a possibility.

I'm sure once you have him home & get to know him a perfect name will come to you
