I had a whippet with the same condition and those 'black things' really freaked me out. My vet put one under the microscope and said they were little scabs, not some kind of infestation.

Since 'fools rush in where angels dare to tread', let me say that I agree with Yorkiemini in that this WAS a rampant infection of the bacterial kind in my case and my dog needed a 10 day course of CLAVAMOX antibiotics (really expensive) to cure it, and the condition returned more than once.
