I am so confused! I did a search to find out about my Tobey's thin hair and came upon this thread. He is in my avatar, but it's pretty little. We didn't know what we were doing when we got him from a lady when he was just 7wks. he was very black and tan though and his coat was very think as a tiny pup. his coat has always been very soft, not wirery. but it is very thin on his legs and belly. his skin just looks kinda dry, not rough. He's almost 11 months old now. his belly fur stopped growing about 2 months ago. i also just found a bald spot on his back outer thigh area. the hair on his face and back and tail (he has a full tail) seems to grow just fine. the hair on his back is black at the ends and is growing out dark gray now. he is on good food. Artemis kibble. i give him a bath every week or two otherwise he gets stinky, but i don't know how to help his dry skin.
