  I know that it is normal when you brush your dog to have a little hair shed.  It sounds like your dog is losing quite a bit of hair, maybe more than normal.  Maybe it's an allergy to food or something like that.  I believe I have read other threads about this.  Maybe even schedule a vet visit just to be sure everything is okay.  I just know that my yorkie never ready shed too much, I might have found a tiny ball of hair every once and awhile.  |
